Why, they were released. Remember "Rathergate", the FALSE story about Bush going AWOL that DESTROYED Dan Rather's career?
What EXACTLY are you referring to?
He wasn't AWOL, technically he was a Deserter, since he was gone without permission for over thirty days. If you disagree, produce the record of his Commanding Officer giving hi permission to ignore the rest of his obligation. I will wait while you dig that out for us all to read. Nice to have a Daddy that is a powerful man in politics, avoid the fighting then just quit whenever you are tired of playing solider and no biggie. BS.

Uh huh. All was thoroughly investigated, the documentation provided by the Bush campaign, Rathergate thoroughly debunked and exposed for putting forth fraudulent documents.
YOU have no proof whatsoever of your claims...so you can go digging for your evidence.
Everyone is making such a issue regarding President Obama's birth certificate/college transcripts, where was the furor over Bush's military records?
where were you when bush first ran for governor of texas? this has been hashed and rehashed EVERY TIME bush ran for office. as much as these records have been gone through, if anything was going to be found, it would have been found already.
Tell that to the over 5,000 US servicemen and women who died because of his spreading of misinformation and the way that he handled the war. Tell that to the thousands of men and women who are suffering from PTSD and other war injuries because of his incompetence? Dan Rather was on the right track but did not ask the right questions. If you were a veteran you would understand the revelance of my question, but since you are not, you won't
Does being a veteran who was separated from the US Army with one of those honorable discharges count. If so you can find out that mine was dated in August of 1957. Of course, there was no war other than the Cold War on then and all I did was help our forces in Europe know where every Iron Curtain country had its forces then. Hell, we were able to track and pin point every tank that surrounded Hungary in the fall of 1956. That was scary being stationed so near them. No bullets but we did do a duty that back then was very important. We weren't allowed to go to Berlin because we had info that nobody wanted to get into Russian hands and you had to cross their area to get there.
Why didn't the Dems get excited about Bush's military records till they ran a real hero for President? Bush already had us in war and it was going so well at that time. You seem to be afraid of something that doesn't make a bit of sense.
It was there at the time. Maybe this should have been posted in the Ancient History forum? Focus on the current POTUS.
People whine about FDR and Carter, etc., on here so I don't see why George "Mission Accomplished!" Bush should get some special treatment. Seems like mentioning Bush really drives some righties nuts. Why is that? Perhaps regret after electing one of the worst presidents in history two times? You may want to whitewash your memory of the disaster that was Bush II, but the rest of us aren't required to accommodate you.

I thought it was something he said about "Obama not even bing able to sell watermelons if you had the state troopers there to flag down traffic." which destroyed Dan Rather's career.
