"Bush has sent us into a war that has killed hundreds of our best young citizens and wounded thousands more. He needs to be held to account. His official records indicate that he stopped his service sometime before May of 1972 , two years before the end of his obligation to the Ready Reserve. There is no disputing that. That he received an honorable discharge is not a testament to his honorable service, but rather one that indicates that he received preferential treatment not available to those being charged with AWOL and desertion today.

"As an AF veteran and one that also served in the reserves I can assure you that I could not have just stopped showing up, and I could not have skipped meeting and made them up later. I would have been charged under the UCMJ either as AWOL (failure to report for duty) or for Desertion (failure to report for duty over 30 days). Ask any veteran and they will tell you the same." - - Robert Reynolds, in a letter to Washington Post reporter Lois Romano.


"Thanks, pop!"
