Bush opens wide in war service rumpus

The White House released a copy of a dental examination that President George Bush had in the National Guard in Alabama during the Vietnam War to rebut suggestions made by Democrats who have questioned whether the president ever showed up for duty there.

A copy of the dental examination carried out on January 6, 1973, shows the president was serving at Dannelly Air National Guard Base, which is south of Montgomery, Alabama, White House press secretary Scott McClellan said.
