Go read his service records if you don't believe that. They are public. Try go reading John Kerry's records. Most of them are sealed.

The records do show that he showed up so your question on why he didn't show up to a single thing in a year is a bogus question. You need to get your facts straight.

The Kerry campaign is looking for a needle in the haystack to get Bush. Wow one person did not remember seing George Bush on the base in 1973. Hmm would you remember every person you saw somewhere 31 years earlier? Especially when the person wasn't even a regular person for that base. And you have to remember he was a regular guy then not the president. I highly doubt it.
