The Boston Globe is reporting today that a reexamination of President Bush’s military records show * the president fell well short of meeting his military obligations* in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War. According to the Globe, twice during his Guard service — in May 1968 and in mid-1973 — Bush signed documents pledging to meet training commitments or face a punitive call-up to active duty. But records show he didn’t meet the commitments, or face the punishment. In 1973 when Bush transferred out of his unit to attend Harvard Business School, Bush agreed to be assigned to another reserve unit within 60 days. But records show he never signed up with a Boston-area unit. And the Globe investigation has determined that Bush’s attendance in 1972, 1973 and 1974 was so irregular that his superiors could have disciplined him or ordered him to active duty. But they did neither. In related news, the former Texas speaker of the house * Ben Barnes* is scheduled to appear on * 60 Minutes* tonight to discuss how he helped Bush get a coveted slot in the National Guard in 1968.
