President Bush, accused by Democrats of shirking his duty in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War, wrote that he had "inadequate time" to meet future reserve commitments in his November 1974 letter of resignation, which was released Wednesday.
The letter was released by the White House on the eve of the first presidential debate, in Miami on Thursday, between Bush and his Democratic challenger, John F. Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran.
In the one-page "Tender of Resignation," Bush hand-wrote the following reason for resigning: "Inadequate time to fullfill [sic] possible future commitments."
The document does not address the controversy over gaps in his service in the Air National Guard in the 1970s.

Funny how they keep coming up with a record here, a record there, after insisting on numerous occasions in the past that they had provided all the documents from his service record. Ooops, found another one. Ooops, yet another one. Ooops...
Like a damned Easter egg hunt. Bunnypants (as he's sometimes known at Maru's) apparently has them hidden all over Washington.
Keep looking. I'm sure there's another there somewhere.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
