"2. Bush recieved an honorable discharge but was not sent to vietnam-Kerry was sent to vietnam and then supported the communist military and political delegations."

In Kerry's case the decision of the military (ie, a citation sKerry wrote but issued by the Navy) legitimizes it). In characteristic fashion, a document (Honorable Discharge) should be second-guessed.

The honorable discharge is just as legitimized as any other military issued document. Having been there for 15 years, there is no difference other than the issuer.
