New documents raise questions about Bush military record
New documents from 1972 and 1973 detail Bush's Texas Air National Guard service including a direct order he may have ignored and a suspension from flying for failing standards and a required medical exam. The White House backed release while Pentagon records remain unclear. The memos raise questions about training locations and possible investigations into skipped exams and six months of training.

Democrats leverage 30 year old memos to charge Bush used family ties to dodge the Vietnam War and to mislead.

The DNC seeks to frame Bush as elitist and untrustworthy based on his National Guard service.
