Yep, either Kerry planned the 3x and you're out of there or these guys hipped him to it....it can't be both.

Both can be true. "Don't throw me into that briar patch!"

Both can be true.

I believe Kerry had help getting into the Navy since it was so hard to do at a time when so many were facing the draft into a ground war. I remember well how some of my classmates tried and failed to get in the USN. So it should be in his records that someone influential, perhaps just his father, (perhaps a Kennedy?) was someone that would complain if Kerry were cashiered out as he deserved to be. So give him some Purple Hearts, some Stars and send him home to run for office as a war hero.

How? Kerry either knew about the 3x deal or he didn't.

The assertion in this article is that they sat him down and told him about it. If that's true then the assertions (which I believe) that he "arranged" for the 3 PHs have no basis.
