Understood. I guess what I find odd is that "proving" bush skipped out b/c he was high presumes you can prove he was skipping out at all. IF that's proven, showing it's because he was worried about a drug test is probably a small detail that won't really matter in light of his previous assertions and their then-proven falsity.
Otherwise what you're left with isa n hypothesis that bush was on drugs (reasonable), which provides motivation for skipping out on duty. But there are plenty of motivations for skipping out on duty, none of which really matter to determining whether, in fact, he did. In short, innuendo he was on drugs doesn't do much in the way of proof of desertion more than commanders saying they don't remember him.
