I've been ticked about the lack of attention paid to Kerry's military record since this started. I even had two DNC drones come to my front door and tell me that they weren't sure whether or not meeting in Paris with the communist reps was "illegal". This man may not be dirty-repeat 'may not be'-but the fact that he has done far less than Bush to release 'all' of his records vis a vi his refusal to sign the SF-180 tells me one thing: he has something to hide. And until the MSM holds his well pedicured feet to the fire he won't be signing any such release.
I personally want to know the answers to the following:
1) Where are your Fitness Reports, Mr Kerry, covering the period from the day you left Vietnam until 1972; and then your status from '72 to '78?
(this would cover the Paris period)
2) Did anyone see you at your weekend drills after you came back from Vietnam?
(the Bush Alabama guard test)
Just one Marine's opinion. If my son is going to serve for someone that, in my gut, committed treason, then by all means, I think he should settle this.
When an Officer gets a commission through ROTC or OCS, he has to go serve three to four years of active duty unlike enlisted who join the Reserves and can then go to "weekend warrior" status after basic training.
On the other hand, once released from active duty, officers can enter the Individual Ready Reserve where they are subject to call back but are not required to be members of a drilling unit. No drills. No Fitness Reports.
I have a Retirement Certificate but never served a single minute with a drilling Reserve unit.
However, Kerry does need to account for his status until his Honorable Discharge in 1978. His obligated service contract would have made him eligible for Honorable Discharge long before 1978.
I would bet dollars to doughnuts that Kerry is hiding a Less Than Honorable Discharge that was upgraded to Honorable Discharge in 1978 under the Carter Amnesty Program.
Kerry has put out quite a smokescreen over this issue. See my Post 19.
I would add to it –
The recommendations for the Silver Star (with “V”!!), Bronze Star and three Purple hearts.
The complete medical records for the wounds (if any) inflicted by the enemy.
"two DNC drones come to my front door and tell me that they weren't sure whether or not meeting in Paris with the communist reps was "illegal". "
Yeah, and if they have their way we'll have even more lawyers running this government. There is no right or wrong, only "legal".......
