Wasn't this about the same time he was making his pilgrimages to Paris to meet with leaders of the nation we were at war with...while he was still an officer in the Reserves???
Why won't Kerry allow his military records released.
The Democrats have accused George Bush of being AWOL from his Reserve Unit in Alabama in 1972! They gave up when Bush authorized release of all his records. The AWOL charge turned out to be phony!
Bush received an "Honorable Discharge" for his National Guard service.
Now it turns out that archived Naval Records disclose that JOHN KERRY did not receive his "Honorable Discharge" from the Navy, until March 12, 2001. His service obligation should have ended JULY 1, 1972 - About the time that Bush was ending his honorable Guard service in Alabama.
What is going on here? - Honorable Discharge in 2001? Had he received something else in prior years?
Based on records obtained FROM: Director AuthentiSeal / SEAL Authentication Team / A.L. "Steve" Nash, MAC Ret., UDT / SEAL - # 707 - He describes the following:
On Feb. 18, 1966 John Kerry signed a six year enlistment contract with the Navy - plus, 6 additional months extension during wartime. On Feb. 18, 1966, John Kerry also signed an Officer Candidate contract for six years - 5 years of ACTIVE duty and ACTIVE Navy Reserves and one year of inactive standby reserves (#4 & #5)
Lt. John Kerry was subject to enforcement of any Uniform Code of Military Justice violation. Any commissioned officer was also prohibited from making adverse statements against his chain of command, or statements against his country, especially during a time of war.
It is puzzling that Kerry's military records do not show his honorable discharge from the service, until MARCH 12, 2001. Why was it issued then? Who made this request? Did it have any connection with a run for the presidency? Kerry should clarify this oddity.
Lt. John Kerry, in his letter of November 21, 1969 asked for an early release from active duty. He falsely claimed that his "regular period of obligated service would be completed in December of 1969".
This period of active duty would amount to about three years and ten months of his contractually required six years of total service. NOTE: This is less than George Bush's five years of National Guard service.
Lt. John F. Kerry was transferred to the Naval Reserve Manpower Center, Bainbridge, Maryland, on Jan. 3, 1970. Because John Kerry was discharged from TOTAL active duty of only three (3) years and eighteen (18) days on Jan. 3, 1970, he was then required to attend 48 drills per year, and not more than 17 days active duty for training
Where are Kerry's "Performance Records" for this two years of obligated Ready Reserve duty? He would have to meet for 48 Required Drills per year and 17 days of active duty per year.
How many Drills was he "AWOL"? Did he attend ANY reserve drills? Why won't Kerry release his service records? And prove the accuracy of his claims and what he wrote in his battle reports.
Lt. John Kerry was discharged from the naval Reserve on February 16, 1978.
The following is a list of potential "War Crimes" for which Lt. John Kerry could have been charged:
1. Attendance of many war rallies where the Vietcong flag was displayed while the U.S. flag was being desecrated, defiled and mocked, thereby giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
2 Presence in a meeting of Anti-War protesters voting on "assassinating members of the U.S. Senate."
3. Kerry lied under oath, when testifying against fellow soldiers and sailors and shipmates, saying that he saw them committing war crimes in Viet Nam.
4. Kerry professed on national TV to being a war criminal, condemning the military and his government.
5. Lt. Kerry met with the NVA and Vietcong communist leaders in Paris, in direct violation of the U.C.MJ. Article 104, Part. 904, and U.S. Code 18 SU.S.C 953.
He committed these violations while he was still a U.S. Naval Officer. He stands in violation of Article 3, Section 3, of the Constitution.
The Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment, Section 3, states, "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elected President or Vice President, having taken an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, who has engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or, given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof." More curious issues: The John Kerry's campaign for president posted a sanitized military record on his Web site (http://www.johnkerry.com/) for critics to peruse.
But one sharp-eyed Washington Times reader a former B-52 pilot and U.S. Air Force colonel isn't buying Mr. Kerry's selective posting.
"I looked at that Web site and the first thing I looked at was Kerry's Silver Star citation Guess what? It is for an action that took place in 1969, but it is signed by Secretary of the Navy John Lehman. Strangely, Lehman was secretary of the Navy from 1981 to 1987," he noted.
"How could Kerry have received a citation from an official that would not be in office for 12 years? This was NOT just a case of providing a new copy of a citation for the office to replace one that was lost (destroyed/thrown over a wall). This effort by Lehman & Kerry actually changed Kerry's official Navy record, sometime in the 80s," he continued.
No wonder the Democrats are raising so much stink about the Swift boats! They must not want this info to get out !!!
