I was a little worried bout Kaus's "surprise"

But it turned out to be Rood the dud so I am happy

How does this discrepancy affect his eventual discharge in respect to his obvious anti-military activities while still technically in uniform?

This time line is incredible. It would have made any protest illegal. It doesn't matter whether he was active or inactive reserve. Propaganda by a military person during war is treason.

"Maybe the official US Navy document on John Kerry's website listing Kerry's service dates in the Navy (including the reserve) does not rise to Tom Oliphant's level of verification for use in journalism."

Should we start a pool to see how long before this document "disappears" from Kerry's web site?

There's more to this! Last time I check the kerrorist stite there were no military records. The pdf listing, here, doesn't say what it is or where it came from. There are other listings/records that indcate the Traitor John's "final" DD-214 wasn't issued 'til 2001.

There is a great time line on "Wintersoldier" but I don't know if that is a detailed as a total release of the actual records could make it.

This pdf says he transferred to the USNR. Some reports suggest that he was released/discharged outright and then, later, rejoined to get into the Reserve.

In any event, this pdf indicates Traitor John entered the "active" USNR on 1/1/70 and then went into the "inactive" USNR on 7/1/72. Where are his reserve attendance records/reports for this 30 months?

As an undecided voter, I would like to see a side by side comparison of W's questiobale ANG records and Kerry's rock solid (but too secret to be seen by normal folks) USNR papers.

Hmmm . . . I'm almost certain I remember reading about Kerry's anti-war political activities while he was still in uniform. This would've been in Time or Newsweek, probably in 1970 before the 1971 protests. I remember wondering at the time how he could get away with it.

As I recall, the article said he was "a charismatic young officer" who was still on active duty, had requested a discharge so he could pursue his political career, and that readers should try to remember his name because we'd be hearing much more about him in the future (and I did).

Judicial Watch has put together a good charge, sent to the Dept. of Defense etc. with the request to investigate Kerry. He did commit treason, as he protested, and sought meetings with the Vietcong, while still in the Service.No matter how he spins it, he remains a liar and opportunist.

Some Call it Treason ........

This was passed on by a retired Admiral who once commanded the  Aircraft Carrier Midway and later led a Battle Group into the Mediterranean on  orders of Reagan. After all the attacks on GWB's reserve records, this should  end that debate.

On 18 Feb. 1966 John Kerry signed a 6 year enlistment contract with the Navy (plus a 6-month extension during wartime).

On 18 Feb. 1966 John Kerry also signed an Officer Candidate contract for  6 years -- 5 years of ACTIVE duty & ACTIVE Naval Reserves, and 1 year  of inactive standby reserves (See items #4 & #5).

Because John Kerry was discharged from TOTAL ACTIVE DUTY of only 3  years and 18 days on 3 Jan. 1970, he was then required to attend 48 drills  per year, and not more than 17 days active duty for training. Kerry was  also subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Additionally, Kerry, as  a commissioned officer, was prohibited from making adverse statements  against his chain of command or statements against his country, especially  during time of war. It is also interesting to note that Kerry did not obtain an honorable discharge until Mar. 12, 2001 even though his service obligation should have ended July 1, 1972.

Lt. John Kerry's letter of 21 Nov. 1969 asking for an early release from active US Navy duty falsely states "My current regular period of obligated service would be completed in December of this year."

On Jan. 3, 1970 Lt. John Kerry was transferred to the Naval Reserve Manpower Center in Bainbridge, Maryland.

Where are Kerry's Performance Records for 2 years of obligated Ready Reserve, the 48 drills per year required and his 17 days of active duty  per year training while Kerry was in the Ready Reserves? Have these  records been released?

Has anyone ever talked to Kerry's Commanding Officer at the Naval Reserve Center where Kerry drilled?

On 1 July 1972 Lt. John Kerry was transferred to Standby Reserve - Inactive. On 16 February 1978 Lt. John Kerry was discharged from US Naval  Reserve.

Below are some of the crimes Lt. Kerry USNR committed as a Ready Reservist, while he was acting as a leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the  War:

1. Lt. Kerry attended many rallies where the Vietcong flag was  displayed while our flag was desecrated, defiled, and mocked, thereby giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

 

2. Lt. Kerry was involved in a meeting that voted on
assassinating  members of the US Senate.

3. Lt. Kerry lied under oath against fellow soldiers before the US  Senate about crimes committed in Vietnam.

4. Lt. Kerry professed to being a war criminal on national television,  and condemned the military and the USA

 

5. Lt. Kerry met with NVA and Vietcong communist leaders in Paris, in
direct violation of the UCMJ and the U.S. Constitution.

Lt. Kerry by his own words & actions violated the UCMJ and the U.S.  Code while serving as a Navy officer. Lt. Kerry stands in violation of  Article 3, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution. Lt. Kerry's 1970 meeting with  NVA Communists in Paris is in direct violation of the UCMJ's Article 104  part 904, and U.S. Code 18 U.S.C. 953. That meeting, and Kerry's  subsequent support of the communists while leading mass protests against our  military in the year that followed, also place him in direct violation of our Constitution's Article 3, Section 3, which defines treason as "giving  aid and comfort to the enemy".

"....rising to the rank of Lieutenant, Junior Grade."

How do you "rise to the rank" of Lt. JG? I thought that was the lowest "O" rank in the Navy.
