This has absolutely nothing to do with his military service way back then. It has everything to do with his integrity, honesty, and hypocrisy in this case. If you think it is as shallow as looking back 30+ years, you're quite misinformed, or sympathetic to Kerry.
"I would assume that the White House is aware of this. I would hope so and that the press, such as it is, will give this as much attention as they did Bush's NG service. That's a laugh. They'll bury it on page 69."
Laugh, it is really a joke. Michael Dobbs of the WAPO has a hit piece out, he says neither Bush nor Kerry has released all their military records. Then just show he was fair and liberally balanced, he used 90% of the screed to bash Bush.
Kerry went in the service when, 1966? You saying that Kerry had about 35 years of military obligation?
Those Dems have brass ones ... here they're harping on Bush missing a physical for legitmate reasons with an honorable discharge etc. and this creep doesn't get an honorable discharge till thirty years later!
I wonder when the Wizard is going to award him some common sense.
Past is prologue.
OH MY!! This ex-marine is certainly curious as to why it took 30 years to get that honorable discharge. I hope it gets cleared up before the election. BHWWAH HA HA
Dont you get an honorable discharge seconds before you re-enlist? I know JK was an Officer but as far as waiting the the IRR to get an honorable discharge. I dont know about that. I believe you get it at the end of active service. I know this.
I think I have an old Selectric around here somewhere...
I'd be willing to bet that originally Carter's amnesty allowed Kerry to get his honorable, but it took all these years to erase the original dishonorable from his files. Maybe they had to wait for Berger to finish the sanitization for him.
Notice how he talks around a direct and straight forward answer.
"Oh no, no, that has never been questioned"
That could be a half truth. The issue could be in question.....but no reporter questioned him on it at that time.
That is how he dodges every other tough question.
OOOps! Sorry for the move on crack.
Well I'm sure Berger did a good job, the democRATS can count on him. Ha Ha Ha.
Say What? Are you saying that Kerry was under military obligation for over 30 years? What in the world have you been smokin' guy?
That's correct. My IRR was two years. ...anyone else here have a longer IRR status?
Carl Rove just announced the RNC has TWO OCTOBER SURPRISES.
HEHEHEEEEEHEHEHHHHe (maybe the Navy records clerk has a slow leak)
I know I got my honorable at the end of my service, since I had no IRR time after being in 10 years. No matter what, it just isn't likely that Kerry doesn't have something MAJOR to hide in those files or he would've done so immediately. His ego woudn't have it any other way.
Heck, he might have even had a BCD for his actions in 1971 instead of just a dishonorable. That would require more strings than the Carter amnesty to clean up completely.
That is, there's no IRR for 30 years. LOL! Anyone else here have or know of any IRR lasting longer than two years?
