Mainstream media has a stamp, FREE PASS. Believe it is inked and ready.

Kerry officials, with no knowledge of military operations, think the report is laudatory.Thanks for the explanation. The question is whether the mainstream press is going to be concerned with the relatively low ranking. My fear is that they won't be.

Now this is interesting!

I suspected he was correct in saying the Navy suggested he be relieved of active duty.

I glanced at Kerry's records and thought the same thing. However, my experience is much more recent (90's) and in the Army as opposed to Navy. Any Vietnam era Navy vets care to shed light on evaluation inflation during the period?

I guess the question is: How do Kerry's performance reports compare with Bush's performance reports under this criteria?
To: MindBender26
This analysis of Officer Efficiency Reports is exactly on the money.
In fact, it finally got so bad that the Army and Air Force have come up with entirely new rating systems that absolutely prevent "rating inflation."
Each commander can now have no more than 50% of his ratees receive his highest rating.
In the past, commanders said such laudatory things about EVERYONE that if they ever said less about anyone that that person was dead in the water. If Kerry managed only 6 of 16 "highest" ratings, then he would NEVER have made Lieutenant or Lieutenant Commander....and we want him to be commander in chief....NOT!!

Wow! Thanks for the analysis. Probably won't see it anywhere else but in conservative media and message boards.

Thanks for the article. It explains a lot. I just have to wonder if this news is good or bad. It seems that an awful lot of Democrats are abandonning the presumptive nominee and Hillary is making herself more and more visible.

Fitreps are always inflated, not just during the Vietnam Era. That being said, one mark or two below perfect isn't a major deal for a LTjg, especially since he is noted as being new to the command. It is fairly common to downgrade a new check in for ranking reasons and then move him up. You have to leave room to do this. 9 below might be a different story but I don't know that this is that big of a deal.

This clown will be a disaster for the military, and the country, if he ever gets into office.

Great explanation of an "officer's ratings" but, difficult to get that all in one sound bite.
That's what it takes to get this issue across to the american voters.
The media know this and will not pursue this.
Keeping the public ignorant, works every time for liberals.
