OK. Prove to me he didn't. So far, Bush has no proof he was present at his duties.. I think the opposite of 'present' is 'absent'... So, please enlighten me as to what the military term is for 'not present at the job you signed up to do'.moog wrote:even if bush went awol (he didn't)
OK. Again, prove to me Jenkins deserted. So far, from what I know, there are conflicting stories. Aren't there reports he was 'abducted'? Wouldn't modern knowledge of NK abduction policies point to this possibly being true?moog wrote: it's nowhere near the same as jenkins DESERTING.

Honestly, give me prove he deserted and I'll believe it. Until then, he went AWOL.. Or, I guess I should say 'Not Present at Job He Signed Up For' (NPAJHSU).
Shouldn't the president of the free world be MORE scrutinized than a common foot soldier? Who knows? Quite possibly, while Bush was AWOL he was selling military secrets to his family buddies, the Bin Ladens.(jk)

Quite possibly, while Bush was AWOL he was selling military secrets to his family buddies, the Bin Ladens.
The Bush administration has concluded that Osama bin Laden was present during the battle for Tora Bora late last year and that failure to commit U.S. ground troops to hunt him was its gravest error in the war against al Qaeda, according to civilian and military officials with first-hand knowledge.
In the fight for Tora Bora, corrupt local militias did not live up to promises to seal off the mountain redoubt, and some colluded in the escape of fleeing al Qaeda fighters.
I was kind of joking about this]Why the fuck in God's name can anyone tell me were we using 'corrupt local militia' to do the most important military operation in American history since WW2?[/quote] I 150% agree.

This is proof Jenkin's deserted? A picture and a film he made while in NK?
Oh, but wait. I thought:moog wrote:your attempt to label me a conservative is pretty feeble and laughable since i'm not,

When you show me evidence Bush wasn't AWOL and Jenkins deserted, you'll get more than an apology; you'll get a believer.moog wrote: but i accept your apology nonetheless.![]()
Doesn't it seem like the CIA and FBI might want to have a chat with them? Eight days was enough to gather all the needed evidence? They work fast.vvx wrote:AssKissinger wrote:Left-wing nutterism? Two facts: 1)After 9/11 the bin Laden family was escorted immediately out of the country.
Well, if 8 days is "immediately" (about a week after flight restrictions had been lifted.)

Hhhhmmm. Not sure if this is proof.. Interesting how the military always lose those critical documents that back up their claims..He was leading a patrol near the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), when he told his platoon he was going to investigate a noise. He never came back.
Days later, his arrival in North Korea was broadcast over the loudspeakers on the DMZ, according to Nobuharu Kumada, a Japanese man who says he served with Mr Jenkins.
The US military has said Mr Jenkins left behind four notes which stated his intention to defect.
"I am sorry for the trouble I will cause you. I know what I have to do. I am going to North Korea. Tell family I love them very much. Love, Charles," one of the notes, allegedly left near his footlocker, is reported to have said.
But James Hyman, a nephew in North Carolina, said that the military has no hard evidence of his uncle's supposed defection, and believes instead he was kidnapped.
He pointed out that the army lost the original copies of the notes.
"Of course they weren't able to be found. There were no four letters," he told BBC News Online.
[The quoted note] "was signed 'Love, Charles,' and the family didn't know him as Charles. They knew him as Robert or 'Super'," Mr Hyman said.
He said his uncle was a loyal serviceman who would not have deserted.
"Every time I saw him he always had his uniform on," Mr Hyman, who was four years old when he last saw Mr Jenkins. ..

So four copies of notes, of which the military lost the originals, have convicted Jenkins of being a deserter.. Pretty circumstantial, if you ask me. Quite possibly true, but also quite possibly not.Among the documents is an intelligence message to the Army's top general saying Jenkins "apparently defected." (based on the four notes)...
On the basis of that statement, and little else that is apparent from the available personnel records, the Army concluded within weeks of his disappearance that Jenkins was a deserter and in violation of Article 85 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Portions of the released Army records on the Jenkins case are blacked out. The rest of the documents provide no indication of a motivation for deserting. ...
Jenkins had a spotless record after joining the Army in 1955. In November 1961, shortly after completing his first tour of duty in Korea, Jenkins was given a Good Conduct Award for "exemplary behavior, efficiency and fidelity."

Asia Times Online wrote:Jenkins and the three other US deserters later appeared on the cover of Fortune's Favorites, a North Korean propaganda pamphlet published around 1965. It is believed Jenkins also made several radio broadcasts in support of Pyongyang during the late 1960s.
Jenkins next surfaced in the 1980s in a widely viewed North Korean propaganda movie titled Nameless Heroes, Chapter 20. In the fiercely anti-US film, Jenkins plays a sinister US intelligence official, who looks like a cross between Count Dracula and a creepy Samurai warrior in a business suit.
The review I posted (and which you appear to have never read) wrote:Jenkins also plays Gen. Walker, the US 8th Army commander, in another North Korean movie - The People and Its Destiny.
Asia Times Online also wrote:It appears Jenkins was working as an English teacher, possibly coaching spies.
Robert Burns, AP military writer wrote:"The purpose of all this English education is mostly for spy operations in South Korea," Suh [Suh Dae Sook, a retired political scientist and expert on North Korea] said.
The BBC (as I cited earlier) wrote:the incriminating radio broadcasts, and his appearance, according to the Pentagon, in a North Korean propaganda film called Nameless Heroes.

Another source:Kim Jong Il is a movie fanatic, and is said to hav a collection of over 20,000 films. In 1978, in order to advance the North Korean film industry, he ordered North Korean agents to abduct the famous South Korean movie director Shin Sang Ok and his ex-wife, actress Che Eun Hui, and kept them for eight years while making them produce propaganda films. During that time, the two became very well acquainted with Kim Jong Il, and after escaping in 1986, they wrote a book exposing his decadent lifestyle.
