George's war

In the photographs he looks every bit the dashing fighter pilot but
President Bush is struggling to convince America that he did his bit
in the Vietnam war. Did daddy pull strings to get him a cozy billet?
Did he actually show up for duty? And do the latest documents released
by the White House prove anything at all? Suzanne Goldenberg and

On May 2 1973, Richard Nixon was still reeling from the Watergate
scandal. American troops were on their way home from Vietnam. And
outside Houston, in Texas, a 26-year-old named George Bush, a
lieutenant in the National Guard, reported for drill duty as usual at
Ellington air force base.
That, at any rate, is the impression given by military payroll records
released by the Bush administration on Tuesday. Apparently, however,
Lt Bush's superiors at Ellington didn't see it that way. In an annual
evaluation of his performance - dated, coincidentally, the very same
day, May 2 - they conceded that they couldn't actually evaluate his
performance, because they hadn't seen him for months.
