THEY FOUND THE PERSON WHO GAVE KERRY HIS OTHER THAN HONORABLE DISCHARGE!! (Swiftboat Vets)

Navy chief on Swiftvets.com is saying they FOUND IT!!

[MJY1288]

I agree with you, I think we should expose Kerry not for the sake of delivering Bush a victory, I think it would be best to expose him for the sake of people like YOU, You were slandered by him and he slandered my family who also served in Vietnam.

John Kerry will face justice one way or the other

Welcome to Free Republic, WildTurkey.

"At this point in the election, I don’t think Kerry’s 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.

It might steal away some of the squishy middle... 3 or 4 percent, just like happened in 2000. Thereby Krushing Kerry even worse than he's already going to get Krushed!

The bigger the win, the less chance of lawsuits from Kerry.

Apparently the source is the former Secretary of the Navy.

Apparently officers are not discharged the same way as enlisted. I got the following from a bupers instruction specifically for the discharge of officers:

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!

[Fatalis]

You'll pardon my cynicism, but someone who has been here about a month highlighting "Former Secretary of the Navy" as a scurrilous attempt to insinuate God-knows-what has zero credibility with me.

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.

[Fedora]

ROFL! I noticed that. . .

[OldSgt.]

"removed from the ballot, even if after the fact."

You mean Him getting elected then would mean he'd go to jail, PLEASE SAY YES, PLEASE!!!! Wouldn't this be a Fed fraud??

You're right about what kind of discharge he had--it might have been a Section 8. Fitting.

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.

OK folks, just keep your powder dry. VERIFY, VERIFY, VERIFY

[anniegetyourgun]

Take a deep breath.....3 days and 10 hours until the general election.

[MinuteGal]

If this is true, it's NOT too late. The timing is perfect. It will play all weekend on TV. People will be talking to each other about it all weekend on the phone, on the street and on the computer.

It will be up to us to work our computers till they smoke.

Remember, the American public in the main believes the last thing it hears.
