It's not proof, it's just a little bit more evidence against Bush. It's no more objective than Mr. Campinni was, but the retired general actually DID command in Alabama. So he has that going for him.
Anyway, just another reason Bush needs to stop dicking us around with a dental record here or there and just release everything, unedited.

Sorry but Turnispeed has said that he may have forgotten about it since it was 30 years ago. Even in this Washington Post article he says " he could not recall if he, himself, was on the base much at that time". Yep wonderful evidence. Nothing like reporting only pieces of the statements made by "witnesses".

And another one where he says "I don't think he did, but I wouldn't stake my life on it.."

And still another:

Bush was told to report to William Turnipseed, an officer in the Montgomery unit. “Had he reported in, I would have had some recall, and I do not,” Turnipseed told the Boston Globe four years ago. “If we had had a first lieutenant from Texas, I would have remembered.” But by last week Turnipseed’s memory had grown cloudy. “I did say in 2000 that I didn’t remember seeing him,” Turnipseed, now 75, told Time. “But after I said that, I backed up and realized I didn’t even remember if I was on the base in 1972 or not.” Turnipseed said he was so busy checking out new airplanes outside Alabama and training, “I couldn’t even follow football.” He also noted that he voted for Bush in 2000 and plans to vote for the President again this year.
Now I suspect the tack will go toward the fact that he's a Bush supporter and is just covering up for him. Ahh well, such is the world of politics.
