Boortz [1] points out this morning that the numbers tell the story on President Bush’s service in the Guard. The President made his obligations evry single year:
“At the time of Bush’s service National Guard regulations required a minimum of 50 service points to satisfy a yearly obligation. Since Bush joined the Guard in May of 1968, his ‘year’ ran from May to May. Byron York writing in The Hill gives us the total number of points he earned for each year of service.
May 1968 to May 1969 253 points
May 1969 to May 1970 340 points
May 1970 to May 1971 137 points
May 1971 to May 1972 112 points
May 1972 to May 1973 56 points
May 1973 to May 1974 56 points”
Perhaps Dan Rather should spend less time on fake documents and paying more attention to the real ones already on file.
