"Non-specific"
??
Are you saying that is a discharge type? I don't recall that one.
Or, are you saying that "Medical Discharge" is non-specific?
That 'lazy eye' was really obvious that evening at the democonvention when he saluted and 'reported for duty' ... if anyone has that picture hanging around you can see his two eyes aren't tracking together ...
The discharge is not received until the 6 year commitment is up. I was released after 4 years active under Honorable Conditions on the DD214 but the HC came 2 years later. Which in Kerry's case should have been 1974, I believe. If it was 1978, something was amiss and probably got cleared up under Jimmah Carter the "pardon the draft dodgers president".
I share your cautious sense of paranoia on this one ;-).
The story is pure unadulterated speculation, and ought to be treated as such. It's reasonable to conlcude that Kerry's records contain something(s) against his interest, but we don't know what those things are.
bump to check later
Right. But he joined in '66. Left Active Duty in '70. Reached his 6-year point in '72. The discharge should've been issued then.
Here we go again....Kerry's dishonorable discharge
...thus the Bush mantra: Lt Bush was honorably discharged.
I thought they were doing that put finality on the TANG issue, but maybe they are doing it to bait Kerry...
Perhaps there are some memos that "prove" this somewhere in one of his dead senior officier's personal files....LOL...
Kerry was not required to drill in the reserves if he served on active duty and was released to inactive duty. The fact that he was not discharged until 2001 is highly unusual and indicates (since it was during the Clinton admin) that it was his SECOND discharge. This is a smoking gun if you can prove it.
Entirely possible, but let's wait and see.......
Ask CBS
It was a little esoteric. I should have said, "Yellow Burning."
Ahh, VD joke. Gotcha.
Funny.
Sorry. I had 67 or 68 in mind as his enlistment date. My bad. 78 is definitely late to be legit.
I'm with you, I think some clean up began shortly after Carter took office. Which one of his papers show something about coming through some kind of attorney's office? I thought it was his '78 discharge.
My bad on not making it more clear.
