The contention is that Kerry was given an "under other than honorable circumstances" discharge, which would strip him the right to wear his uniform and medals. As a matter of fact, he did not lose his medal cititations as he contended, they were stripped from him because of his discharge. His medals were all reissued on the same day in the 1980's after he became a senator.
The paperwork in his navy file that he does not want exposed are petitions from him to the department of the navy to upgrade his discharge. The contention is that he did not serve his country honorably, according to the navy at the time they discharged him.
And nothing jimmah carter did while in office can change that fact.
