Because the MSM will not force him to.
Cause sKerry has something to hide. Sent in snail mail yesterday a SF-180 posted on FR to sKerry requesting he sign it and release his medical records ASAP since he doesn't have anything to hide, or does he?
bump!
ping!
Because it will end his political career. simple. period.
The reason he won't release his records is that his discharge from the Navy in the early part of 1970s was a GENERAL DISCHARGE under LESS THAN HONORABLE CONDITIONS.
It was not 'converted' to an HONORABLE DISCHARGE until 1978 when President Jimmuh Cahter issued an EXECUTIVE ORDER giving AMNESTY to DRAFT DODGERS and PERSONS WITH OTHER THAN HONORABLE DISHCHARGES during the VIETNAM ERA.
You see, subversion against your country will count heavily against you when the time comes for your country to decide whether you served HONORABLY. Throwing your 'medals' over a wall and meeting with the enemy in PARIS are not HONORABLE
I think that the more RELAVENT question may be, WHY DOESN'T THE MSM DEMAND that he release his entire Military Record as they have of George Bush.
Little Johnnie Kerry was in his 6th grade class when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up - fireman, policeman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, etc. Little Johnnie Kerry was being uncharacteristically quiet, so the teacher asked him about his father.
"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off his clothes in front of other men and they put money in his underwear. Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he will go home with some guy for money."
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some exercises and took Little Johnnie aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?"
"No," said Little Johnnie Kerry, "He works for the Democratic National Committee to elect John F. Kennedy, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids." !!!
I believe Kerry was cashiered for homosexual activity, marrying a Viet Namese woman without Navy permission, drug abuse or a treasonable act. Take your pick and present it AS FACT!! We have the absolute right and ability to say that Kerry was thrown out of the Navy for treason. When his lackies protest (as some on this site do) the answer is , "Then why won't he release his records and prove it!"
Kerry is hiding some terrible dirty secret; he is being dishonest. Kerry is a fairy traitor and the Navy got rid of him. He isn't fit to be a mailman much less senator or president.
I just received an email from a member of the military FOR Kerry. Here is the text below:
Mr Williams,
The following claim that John Kerry failed to secure an honorable discharge until 30 years later is totally without merit.
He is the first to not receive his honorable discharge from the military until some 30 years after leaving the military, under suspicious circumstances.
Lieutenant John Forbes Kerry was discharged from the United States Naval Reserve Standby Inactive (USNR-S2) on 16 February 1978 pursuant to a new Navy policy that mandated review of the records of officers who had been assigned to the Standby Reserve Inactive for three or more years. This policy was established in 1977 and Lieutenant Kerry was among those discharged from the Naval Reserve pursuant to the recommendation of the first Board of Officers convened under this policy. Lieutenant Kerry was assigned to the Inactive Ready Reserve when released from extended active duty on 3 January 1970 and subsequently to the Standby Reserve-Inactive on 1 July 1972. He had thus been assigned to the Standby Reserve-Inactive for more than three years when the policy was established in 1977.
Unlike you and the various far-right detractors who keep pushing this issue, I actually asked the Naval Personnel Command for a copy of the pertinent 1978 BUPERSMAN under which Lieutenant Kerry was discharged. Thomas Lipscomb would have been wise to do the same.
Sincerely,
Roger W Helbig
Lieutenant Colonel, USAF Reserve (retired)

The Commanding Officer, Naval Reserve Personnel Center, desires to add this expression of appreciation to that of the Secretary of the Navy and offers his best wishes for success in your future endeavors.
Bureau of Naval Personnel Manual (BUPERSMAN)
3830300 SEPARATION OF NAVAL RESERVE OFFICERS ON INACTIVE DUTY
1. Subject to the provisions of 10 USC, all commissioned officers in the Naval Reserve hold appointment during the pleasure of the President and such appointments are for an indefinite term (10 U.S.C. 593(b)). The Secretary of the Navy, by virtue of his authority to act for the President in such matters, establishes such criteria for the termination of an officer's status as are deemed necessary for the maintenance of a sound officer corps. Discharge of officers of the Naval Reserve will be accomplished by the Commanding Officer, Naval Reserve Personnel Center.
2. Naval Reserve officers who have completed their period of minimum required (obligated) service on active duty, if any, and whose total active and inactive commissioned service is six or more years may submit their resignations to the Secretary of the Navy, via the Commanding Officer, Naval Reserve Personnel Center (Code 25), New Orleans, LA 70149 and normally expect favorable action thereon. Officers who do not meet the requirements of this subparagraph are considered to be "obligated".
6. An officer who has at least three years commissioned service may not be separated without his consent except under an approved recommendation of a board of officers convened by an authority designated by the Secretary of the Navy, unless separated pursuant to the approved sentence of a general court-martial or in time of war by order of the President, or unless separated by reason of failure of selection as provided herein, or unless dropped from the rolls under the authority contained in 10 USC 1163(b). The Naval Reserve Officer Mobilization Disposition Board, convened by the Secretary of the Navy, is empowered to consider the records of officers who fall into the following categories and shall make recommendations to the Secretary of the Navy as to the retention or discharge of these officers. Officers who are recommended for discharge and who are eligible for retirement (either with or without pay) will normally be afforded an opportunity to request retirement prior to final action in such cases.
a. On the Inactive Status List (Standby Reserve Inactive) for a period of three years. (Lieutenant Kerry was assigned to the Standby Reserve-Inactive on 1 July 1972, but this provision was not added to the BUPERSMAN until changed in 1977, thus the first screening of the Standby Reserve-Inactive would have been in 1977 or 1978.)
