Honorable Discharge???? (WSJ picks up NY Sun story)
Wall Street Journal ^ | 10/13/04 | James Taranto

Posted on 10/13/2004 1:45:20 PM PDT by freespirited

In today's New York Sun, Thomas Lipscomb reports on the latest mystery involving the Vietnam service of John Kerry, who by the way served in Vietnam . . . We're not sure what to make of all this, but certainly the story of John Kerry and Vietnam is more nuanced than the simple tale of heroism he sold his party and is trying to sell the country.

Well, the WSJ is certainly a step up from the New York Sun. Needs to make it into tomorrow's print edition.

> O'Reilly will stick up for him, will call this "unfair"!!

Given the news about BoR today, particularly the
smoking gun material just released. his endorsement
may not be something anyone would want to have.

Meanwhile, the discharge issue has evolved from idle
speculation into a genuine puzzling question.

There may be nothing to it, but if it's a dry hole,
I have no sympathy for Kerry, because he could clear
it all up in a few days by signing the SF-180.

Help to distribute the info:

1) Put on your pajamas.
2) Go to your computer and e-mail it to friends/family.
3) Go out to blogs and post it everywhere.
4) Send it to OLD MEDIA (newspapers).
5) Write letters to the editor asking if Kerry was dishonorably discharged?

Do I need to continue?

What is John Kerry hiding? Why doesn't he sign the Standard Form 180 and release his military service and medical records to the public?

Mystery Surrounds Kerry's Navy Discharge


http://www.nysun.com/article/3107

A Kerry campaign spokesman, David Wade, was asked whether Mr. Kerry
had ever been a victim of an attempt to deny him an honorable discharge.
There has been no response to that inquiry.

"First I picked Edwards BUT now I pick Hanoi Jane!"

Edwards played football in 1971 when he turned 18
instead of serving in Vietnam.
Hanoi Jane at least was a Viet Cong!
Just like me!

Hanoi Jane and I know how to demoralize US Troops serving today!

We hate US Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We hate all US Troops!

We lie about them in 2004 the same as we did in the 60's and 70's!

We vow to insult and undermine Iraq Prime Minister Ayad Allawi

We vow to protect the UN and the Oil for Food Scandal

We vow to keep secret the ties between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaida

We vow to free Saddam Hussein with help from our old friend Ramsey Clark.

My thoughts exactly.. I figure anyone reading the Wallstreet Journal is smart enough to Vote for Bush... it's the Michael Moore "sleep late, drink beer and vote for Kerry" people I'm worried about. I think you should be able to pass an intelligence test before you made a decision that will impact my future.

I have been saying for more than 6 months that the Navy got rid of Kerry under other than honorable conditions and that Kerry was pardoned in 1977 by Carter. Nothing else explans his obsessive refusal to be honest with America and release his military records, the unusual total time he claims to have been in the USNR, his rejection by Harvard Law School and the forgered documents Kerry includes in his "Official" military documents.

Kerry is a lying scumbag traitor who has misrepresented himeslf since 1972. He can continue this fraud only with the active participation of the left wing media (that purchasesd IT'S forgeries from the same guys).

Unfortunately, this isn't "The WSJ" in the sense of the paper itself. It's the WSJ's excellent blog, "Best of the Web," written by James Taranto.

there also was a Clemency discharge brought about by Pres Ford 1974 (deserters)..pertinent part(bottom of post) deals with reserve civilian misconduct..also mentions separation and discharge for officers..

This is an interesting historical fact about Kerry's "Lead Debate Negotiator":

Oct. 03 1974 - Vernon E. Jordan named to Clemency Board by Pres. Ford
