This is a tiny tempest in a very small teapot.
George Bush received a preferential assignment in the National Guard - something that was very common for the children of well-connected politicians in the Vietnam Era. The scions of several Texas Dems (ie, the son of John Connelly) received similar treatment.
An actual evaluation of the facts yields the following:
Bush requested an assignment in Alabama due to his job being located in that state. He served in Alabama.
He missed a physical which was rescheduled and completed at a later date. He rescheduled other duties, as if quite common in the National Guard.
He fulfilled his obligations and received an honorable discharge.
Michael Moore calling Bush a deserter is rather funny, considering the source.
