Kerry's Military Records
This is more than an eye opener. 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."

This has been posted several times before.....but who cares lets keep putting this truth out there!!!
BTTT
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.
It certainly fits with why he won't release his records.
Looks like the Freepers have some signs to prepare.
And the best part is they probably only have 68 pages.
Please check your facts. It's very possible that he didn't actually end his time in the IRR (inactive reserves) until 2001. You don't actually get the honorable discharge until you're done with the IRR component of your service.
And let's not get into Clintoon's "discharge," thankyouverymuch.
I dunno about this. I would rather the focus on Kerry be his Senate career but the speculation will continue until he signs the 180. I wish he would do this and apologize for his statements in front of the Senate circa 1971. Then we can talk about 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. The future is what matters most to me. But it is in his court to make this election about the future of America, not his or Bush's past military service in the past.
What bothers me most is even Fox isn't pounding on this one. Judicial Watch is trying to get this seriously looked at, but we're only a month out from the election and time is running very short.... if he were to be elected these records will NEVER see the light of day.

BUMP!!
NO ONE does 32 years in the IRR....NO ONE.
He would have had to. I was both active and reserve, as was Kerry, and served about the same time as Kerry. I was honorably discharged in the 70's. Kerry's service record irregularities may be only a red herring, but it is sure beginning to stink like fish around the subject.
This would explain why the keep pounding on Bushs record trying desperately to smear him. To offset this revelation. It explains it perfectly. It makes no sense otherwise. There is no poll data that suggest that they benefit by attacking Bushs record.
maybe Clinton gave it him before he left office, after going through the gov. red tape was final in 2001.
If the two candidates party attachment were reversed, George Bush would be in Levenworth prison for treason before Nov. 2. but because Kerry is a MSM LIB DARLING all this true military records release outrage is poo-pooed and neglected by the press. This is absolutly unacceptable.
