we wrote our good buddy
the democratic veteran a few days ago when this whole "did he or didn't he" story about a
wol's military service
started getting noticed again.
we remembered a post on the demvet blog a while ago about some sort of form or paper everyone gets when they are discharged from military service, basically outlining what that service entailed.
demvet wrote us back:
i am soooo excited to see this starting to get some traction on the news and especially here in blogtopia! as i have pointed out last night, and before, the awol issue is good, but not getting a flight physical is better, because all the documentation exists that he disobeyed the orders.
everyone leaves the service with a dd-214. it proves and characterizes a service members time spent in the miilitary. back when prez awol would have gotten one, it might have shown an "honorable" discharge but the seperation program number told a different story. right after the five fools awarded chimpy the election the pentagon website with the spns went dark. how convenient.
here's the democratic veteran's post explaining it.
