Kerry was court martialed...

I have to conclude that this is nothing but slander. Unless someone produces some hard evidence I would drop it.

Amen. There is NO WAY that Kerry could keep it quiet. You are saying that he was recalled to active duty, court martialed and what? Acquitted? He would have yelled to high heaven about being persecuted for speaking out. Convicted? It would have been on the top of the page of every newspaper in the country.

Who was the convening authority? Who was the military judge? What officers were on the Court Martial? Who was the prosecutor? Who was his defense counsel? What was the verdict? Was it confirmed by the convening authority? Did Kerry appeal? If he had been court martialed there would be answers to all of these questions because the UCMJ doesn't provide for a Star Chamber to try and convict people in secret. There aren't answers to any of these questions because it didn't happen. We need to take a page from the Swift Vets and (1) research, (2) confirm, (3) document, (4) only then accuse.

Follow the SBVT for the answer. Read his discharge carefully, Note the reference to "officers board" then look at the circumstances that warrant the "officers board". Very unconventional, and also not required even under Carter's blanket amnesty.

,Something happened between 1970 and 1972 the Kerry does not want known, hence no Form 180 and gap they try to camouflage.

Kerry was under surveillance from FBI AND Nixon Whitehouse (Nixon taped conversation with Colson).

Prosecute and make a martyr or "stain" and neutralize??

WWND - What would Nixon do?? Do the math!
