On what basis do you make such allegations? This is nonsense. Wild conspiracy charges and fantastic stories don't help those of us who want to nail Kerry with facts.

The only difference between Tacis' post and my Post 46 to you is that I stated that such a chain of events was "very plausible " and Tacis has turned it into a declarative statement.
While I agree that it is not proved until it is proved, the theory is certainly not "nonsense" or "wild conspiracy" or "fantastic".
The basis for my Post 46 still stands:

Polybius Post 46:
See my Post 39 and my Post 19.
The question is, "Why did Kerry get an Honorable Discharge in 1978, during the Carter Administration?
His obligated service contract made him eligible for an Honorable Discharge years earlier.
A very plausible answer is that 1978 was the year when a Less Than Honorable Discharge was upgraded to an Honorable Discharge as a result of the Carter Amnesty Program.
On January 3, 1970, Kerry allegedly "requested a discharge". Why, after his obligated service was completed years before 1978, would Kerry not have jumped at the chance to get that Honorable Discharge as soon as he possibly could?
**************
I have yet to hear a single explanation as to why a man such as John F. Kerry, who allegedly requested a discharge on 3 JAN 1970 and whose obligated service contract would have made him eligible for a discharge many years prior to 1978, would have waited until the Cater Administration to finalize his Honorable Discharge.
I realize that Officers may choose not to resign their commissions. For patriotic reasons, I never resigned my commission and kept myself vulnerable to recall until I was sent my Retirement Certificate. However, John F. Kerry's post-Vietnam record does not suggest he passed up his chance for Honorable Discharge for such reasons.
See what you started? :)
