It's about time!
This is the third time I've seen this article today ... same title each time.
The article says "There is one odd coincidence that gives some weight to the possibility that Mr. Kerry was dishonorably discharged." Technically incorrect.
Unless the law was very different in 1972 (and I doubt it was), an officer like Kerry could not have been "dishonorably discharged." He could have been "dismissed" (the functional equivalent of a DD), but only pursuant to a court-martial. I see no indication that he was ever court-martialed, and since courts-martial are a matter of public record, we would all know about it if he had been.
On the other hand, he could have received an involuntary administrative discharge, which could have been characterized as "honorable," "general," or "under other than honorable conditions (UOTHC)."
These may sound like technical points, but unlike the MSM, we need to be accurate and credible. A DD (or dismissal) implies a criminal conviction. An administrative separation does not.
Eddie Slovik was executed for less.

Generally, by 11:00am, stories like this have been posted at least 15 times. This one was quite active when I checked at 7:30.
Lurch, if this less than honorable discharge story is true, you're too stupid to be President.
October Surprise?
Also not available at Kerry's web site are the December '68 and January '69 spot reports.
The February and March ones are posted.
It's easy to figure why. The December report, in Kerry's own words, would blow away the "christmas in Cambodia" claim. The January one would evidence his bs about shooting up the sampan.
As for the March report, it blows away the third purple heart story, but in a way that requires much decipherment. It was Kerry's ticket to bug out under the supposed "3ph" rule.
Kerry's contemporaneous report attributes his shrapnel injury to the "mine incident" - which would qualify as enemy action in the heat of battle. But he, and Rassman, later admitted the injury came from a foolish fragging of a rice bin earlier in the day, self-inflicted and NOT in the heat of battle. Kerry lied to get home. Many did, but didn't years later claim their acts heroic and a qualification for political office.
