The discharge issue is perhaps the weakest question about
Kerry's brief naval career and later service on behalf of
North Viet Nam.
Anyone wading into an actual debate is advised to focus
on the scammed medals and Paris betrayals.
Nonetheless, if there's nothing to the discharge matter,
Kerry could neutralize it by signing the SF-180, so I
have no sympathy for him if this is a red herring.
I think if you go back and read all six parts of what Danny has had to say, you'll see that the discharge is but a tiny fraction.
