Navy chief on Swiftvets.com is saying they FOUND IT!!
John Kerry will face justice one way or the other
Welcome to Free Republic, WildTurkey.
"At this point in the election, I dont think Kerrys discharge would make any difference with the voters. "
- Are you insane? Kerry has based his entire campaign and suitability to be CIC on his "war hero" status. If this is true, he will be the first candidate for President to lose EVERY state.
The bigger the win, the less chance of lawsuits from Kerry.
Apparently the source is the former Secretary of the Navy.
It listed the good discharges, then other than honorable circumstances, and then this paragraph:
"d. Officers separated from the service by dismissal pursuant to sentence of general court-marial shall not be awarded a certificate of discharge of any of the characters set forth above. Their only separation document shall be a letter signed by the Secretary of the Navy, or by an authority to whom he has lawfully delegated the function, informing the officer concerned of their trial, conviction, sentence, departmental action upon and approval of the sentence and fact of dismissal. This is the lowest type of separation from the naval service. It is now officially in all respects equivalent to a dishonorable discharge."
The instruction contains language that implies only enlisted members receive OTH discharges.
Perhaps JFnK received this type of discharge.
G Man , G man! That was Moe Green, not Michael!
You expect us to think that the current Secretary of the Navy has first hand knowledge of what happened 35 years ago? Get real.
If you want to sway certifiable idiots, I suggest you post on DU.
LOL I posted what was over at the Swift Vets site from the link at the top of the article. The quote said "the Former Secretary of the Navy," genius. You not only got the attribution wrong, but also the quote.
ROFL! I noticed that. . .

Other Than Honorable Conditions. OTH Discharges are warranted when the reason for separation is based upon a pattern of behavior that constitutes a significant departure from the conduct expected of members of the Military Services, or when the reason for separation is based upon one or more acts or omissions that constitute a significant departure from the conduct expected of members of the Military Services.
