Kerry's Military Record
Unlike McCain, Bush, and Gore...Kerry has adamantly refused to authorize the release of his military records. Most think it's because of his phony battle medals. I think the real reason is below. He was not granted an Honorable Discharge until March 2001, almost 30 years after his ostensible service term had ended!
This is very much out of the ordinary, and highly suspect.
There are 5 classes of Discharge: Honorable, General, Other Than Honorable, Bad Conduct, and Dishonorable. My guess is that he was Discharged in the '70s, but not Honorably. He appealed this sometime while Clinton was doing trouser- tricks in the Oval Office. Political pressure was applied, and the Honorable Discharge was then granted.
His file is probably rife with reports of this, submissions and hearings on the appeal, reports of his "giving aid and comfort" to the enemy, along with protests that were filed with respect to his alleged valor under fire.
This will blow up in his face before October 15th.
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 Bainridge, 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 in time of warfare.
The Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment, Section 3, states, "No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President ... having previously 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."

Kerry could have records saying he single handedly won the cold war, and he's still gonna lose in November cuz no one likes him. I think the damage is done re: military service. Don't keep selling when the sales already made.
This will hit CBS a day after the Swiftvets appear.
I'll notify Dan Rather @CBS news and get him working on the story.
The Klinton Kartel will be sitting around their steaming caldron this evening rubbing their grubby little paws together and grunting happily....
Sounds like Mr. Nash has the goods on Kerry.
What is the significance of Oct 15th?
Steve:
Just a few questions. Is the granting of a discharge, honorable or not, something that cannot be revealed absent the serviceman's permission? With all of Kerry's political history, it would be quite a feat to keep a less than honorable discharge secret for all these years. Keep up the good work.
While I don't discredit Nash's statements, I don't think this story will "nail" Kerry. Bush supporters care about Kerry's record and Kerry supporters care about Bush's service. The rest of the America cares about Iraq and the war on terror and the economy.
ROLFL!
If his reception last week by the National Guard is any indication of how vets will treat him in the voting booth he has a big problem.
<sarc--- However, if we look real hard and make nice to Rather, I'll bet most of the sense of the documents, even forged ones, will re-emerge!
Oh, OK. I thought he was pretending to be a seal hunter. I still believe in hyphens, even though they are out of vogue. But it's so much clearer to hyohenate when adjectives modify adjectives: The phony-SEAL hunter.
Don't miss this one!
Sale may be made. . .but everyone who supports this fraud is entitled to hear the truth.
2nd time this was posted.
Link please
IS THIS TRUE? PING!
You have no idea what will occur in this election in the next 40 days. Iraq. The debates. Surprises. Bush with only a 5 pt lead currently. The sale is NEVER made until he deal is done on Nov 2. Let's not relax for a moment...keep on fighting and slam Kerry with everything we've got. It could be the margin which makes the difference.
