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."

No, the delicious thing about this story, if accurate, is that it links Hanoi John to the Klintoons and their Pardongate!
All the vets still mad at SKerry will be really angered at Bubba if they learn he helped sKerry sanitize and sugarcoat his record.
This could be a final nail in BJ's coffin, too.
Maybe this further explains why sKerry was saying VN didn't mnatter re Klintoon, then he feels free to "rteport for duty" after 2001.
I'll notify Dan Rather @CBS news and get him working on the story.
I'll believe it when something is done about Kerry's anti-American activities. After all, Bill Clinton didn't meet Constitutional requirements; was a draft dodger, aided and abetted the enemy while he was supposed to be going to Oxford, etc., and no one managed to nail him.
He could not have gotten a Security Clearance, yet he was our president for 8 loooong years.
In light of the Navy clearing his record this weekend I don't hold out much hope for any truths to come out and make a difference in the race. After all: he is a Democrat, not a Republican (where it would be spread all over the MSM.
I couldn't believe the Navy didn't respond to the Silver Star with a V.
And what was the story on sKerry's awards? Were they redone sometime in Klintoon years?
John Kerry's favorite point guard. Used to watch him play all the time at Lambert Field. "Kevin Nash to Manny Ortiz! SCORE!!!!"
What about the Extended Service Contract (Warranty)?
Imagine for a minute if all of this history was about some average Joe, and not a well connected young man from Mass. named Jean sKerry. If it had been an average Joe, he'd still be in jail from 30 years ago.
Bump for later.
"In light of the Navy clearing his record this weekend"
The Navy ONLY said proper procedures where followed.
But a General discharge would not have started the same cascade. In fact it;s called a "General Discharge Under Honorable Conditions."
Still "bad" paper, in reality.
But sKerry could have "appealed" to Klintoon to upgrade it to honorable as part of the midnight Pardongate rush.
PING. What say you on this matter?
they releaqsed something just the other day on the Silver Star w/V device saying one has never been issued, EVER, in conjunction with a Silver Star.
===================================================
I single handedly won the cold war, and I double handedly won the hot war. That is to say, I am a supercalifragalistic, ultra megamagnificient war hero, and I've got the medals to prove it !!!
I am JOhnKERry and I approve this message !!!
.
That one does it for me. Lord help us if this incompetent gets the Presidency.
This needs to become Hannity's rant of the day/week on radio and TV.
Screw the fm 180, we need someone to demand them under the Freedom of Information Act.... NOW.
BTTT!!!!!!!
You are SO right!
As a former law enforcement officer, I can tell you that people accuse others of what they know of themselves.
Well, you just earned the coveted Golden Freepie award for best use of the word "sugarcoat" in a post! :-)
