Undisputed are the facts that when John Kerry met with the enemy overseas in 1970 and 1971, and when he lied before Congress, he was an officer in the US Naval Reserve (he was not discharged until 1978, 1998, or 2001, depending upon which forged document you believe).
Here's an initial list of his crimes...
Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)

This is the next President of the United States, if Dan Rather and his friends have their way.
Because he is a liberal and liberals are never held accountable for their transgressions!
Thanks....Bookmarked.
Excellent!! Great info for debate with libs in permanent brain fart mode.
Definite bookmark material.
Thanks for your efforts.
Keep the UN-PUTZ OUTTA THE US POLITICAL SYSTEM BUMP!
Money and connections. That will do it every time.
After Nixon resigned it was pardon fever in the US.
Desertion was OK, draftdodging was OK, rioting was OK, killing unborn kids was OK, etc.
People who never bathed or cut their hair and who wore only orange and brown were welcome in polite society.
I'm surprised that RINO President Ford didn't issue an executive order repealing all laws against murder and rape in 1974.
By the time President Carter took office and let all the draftdodgers officially come home we might as well have appointed Lord Misrule as King of America.
I tremble when I recall those dark pre-Reagan days of my childhood.
I'm sure you already know all this.
Best guess is that he was aided and abetted by the Dems on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (plus one or two Republicans).
I was wondering if there are not copies or commander's notes of these records in separate files of the units he was in; that would be available under the Freedom of Information act along with all the units files.
Anyone know if there would be "company" records on him?
Wouldn't an ordinary guy get time at Fort Leavenworth for less than this?
I think Private Slovak/Martin Sheen got a firing squad for less!
Or execution like Eddie Slovak?
CHAPTER 3 THE PURPLE HEART HUNTER
Are you old enough to remember Julius and Ethel?
The Rosenberg's?
Why is nobody filing suit like AP did regarding Pres. Bush to get Kerry's file? Kerry also has a FBI and CIA file, and he did NOT get honorable discharged. His official discharge was not until 2001, obviously Clinton helpping him to clean up his file. Kerry's files whether it is FBI, Military or CIA would make all the difference if released. This is the reason Kerry refuses to do so.
