The Pentagon says military records related to President Bush's service in the National Guard more than 30 years ago were inadvertently destroyed, The New York Times reported on Friday.

Dang, I guess he won't get any of the military bennies he deserves.......... :laugh:

I'd say the odds were pretty good this was going happen. :rolleyes:

They are getting so predictable. :laugh:

The destroyed files cover three months of a period in 1972 and 1973 when Bush's claims of service in Alabama are in question, the newspaper said. No back-up paper copies of the records could be found, the Pentagon said in notices dated June 25, according to the Times.

All so convenient.....but no payroll records means no proof he was on duty.

" Payroll records of "numerous service members," including Bush, were ruined in 1996 and 1997 during a project to salvage deteriorating microfilm by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, the newspaper said, citing the Pentagon."


Yeah, it's ALL a conspiracy. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

While already a bit suspicious in the fact that only 3 months out of the last 30 years was destroyed, black sharpied entries would have been more suspicious. Besides, if Bush was not paid for 3 months, then the records won't show checks and thus all need to be destroyed.

Coincidence is certainly a possibility, but an very suspicious coincidence.
