Mr. Carter's first act as president was a general amnesty for draft dodgers and other war protesters. Less than an hour after his inauguration on January 21, 1977, while still in the Capitol building, Mr. Carter signed Executive Order 4483 empowering it. By the time it became a directive from the Defense Department in March 1977 it had been expanded to include other offenders who may have had general, bad conduct, dishonorable discharges, and any other discharge or sentence with negative effect on military records. In those cases the directive outlined a procedure for appeal on a case by case basis before a board of officers. A satisfactory appeal would result in an improvement of discharge status or an honorable discharge.

That explains alot
Here is John Kerry's New and Improved Honorable Discharge from his own website that the Sun story refered to.

We can conclude that John Kerry's intial discharge was Less Than Honorable

>>>We can conclude that John Kerry's intial discharge was Less Than Honorable

Without knowing what it really was, all we can say for certain is that sKerry's discharge was something "Other than Honorable"

Sounds a lot like Clinton's first act of Gays in the military! They sure had some screwed up priorities.
