I suspect it was an error when his 214 was typed up but it is troubling that he never had it corrected.

How many "clerical errors" does it take to form a pattern of outright resume fabrication?

I agree, the total picture of Kerry says there is something wrong, but by itself an error on a 214 is not major news. Now, if we could look at his service file in total we'd probably find a bunch.

re: "How many "clerical errors" does it take to form a pattern of outright resume fabrication?"

I know Kerry has patterned his life after John F. Kennedy, but when you come right down to it his life is much more like that of Bill Clinton. Anytime he's caught in one of his lies his first defense is to pawn it off as a clerical or typographical error. If it could really become a problem, then they move to destroy the person who had the audacity to point out the discrepancy! The more likely you're dealing with a lie the more violent the response from Kerry/Clinton.
