Through a very reliable source, I received a copy of the following e-mail to Sean Hannity asking his help in exposing the truth about John Kerry's discharge papers fromteh US Navy. The author is a retired former Navy lawyer and he references the former personal lawyer to then Secretary of the Navy J. William Middleton.
If these two gentlemen can shed light on the truth of John Kerry's record, then the American people have a right to know.
Sean, I was on active duty as a U.S. Navy lawyer when all of this was going on some 25 to 30 years ago, and so was Mark F. Sullivan, who at all relevant times was the personal lawyer to J. William Middendorf, then the Secretary of the Navy. We remember. We are trying to break this absolutely true story nationwide, i.e., Fox News, C Span, and hopefully all the major networks. We are positive that John Kerry was one of those dishonorably dismissed from the Navy for collaborating with the Viet Cong, after he was released from active duty but still in the Navy, and for a totally unauthorized trip to Hanoi. He later got an "honorable" separation in 1978, some 12 years after joining the Navy, under President Carter's "Amnesty Program" for draft dodgers, deserters, and other malcontents who fled to Canada and Holland, among other places, to avoid military service to our country. This is why he has refused, and continues to refuse, to release all of his Navy records: they reflect that he was Dishonorably Dismissed from the United States Naval Service. If they do not (which they do), he would have released them to the public. Again, he has not done so, because he well knows that the truth would kill his challenge to President Bush. Sincerely, DONALD L. NELSON CAPT, JAGC, USNR (Ret.)Subject: Fw: THE JIMMY CARTER LEGACY CONTINUES
Let's hope this story continues to develop.
This would be a hydrogen bomb if dropped on Kerry tomorrow. Someone's got to have some hard copy!
Whatever the GOP has on Kerry, if at all and I can't believe they don't have something up their sleeves...maybe they just understand that the MSM won't cover it one bit even if they have proof that Kerry has been a double-agent for Al Quada, they wouldn't tell, BUT, if there's something, it will hit tomorrow, IMHO.
I don't know all the types of discharges other than honorable, but I do know a dishonorable discharge requires a courts martial and as such is not subject to privacy. Under the FOIA ANYBODY can request and receive the type of discharge someone has received. Any other type of discharge I suppose the hapless jimmy "I fold" carter, could EO away and hide the truth, but notice the EO issued had nothing to do with military separation. Don't know who this self proclaimed JAG officer is but I for one am highly suspicious.
