Hours before the election, Kerry will sign his form 180 and prove us all wrong.

Yeah, right.

> Hours before the election, Kerry will sign his form 180 ...

Not gonna happen, for three reasons:

1. It would be seen for what it was, a meaningless ploy,
since there wouldn't be time to follow up.

2. It could reveal info that would prove Kerry is
legally ineligible to serve as POTUS (should he
win the election).

3. It could reveal info that will cause him to lose his
next senatorial election, if not face an immediate recall
(should he lose on 02 Nov).

And he won't sign the 180 any earlier, either. Suppose
he did so on 28 Oct. There might not be time for the
USN to release the docs and for the honest press to
analyze them ...

... but current and former Navy people with now-privileged
info would be immediately at liberty to blab about it.

The fact that Kerry got an honorable discharge in 78 means that it was something other than honorable to begin with.I don't know about the Navy but in the Army soldiers that were discharged for discipline reasons that did not warrant a dishonorable discharge received a General discharge.A general Discharge could be upgraded at a later date after a period of good behavior and a review by some sort of board.The only other possible reason for that date could be reenlistment's or extensions but that doesn't make sense because because it would show multiple honorable discharges because you would have one for every reenlistment or extension.

"Yeah, right."


If there's some magical (legal or not) way to sanitize them reliably (how many copies could there be?) it just might happen.
