I don't care. The libs have used the SOTC" to destroy more than one GOP career for decades now. I explain they'll complain its an 11th hour trick? Too bad, Kerry had 33 years to reveal the truth to the American people and he's still hiding his records from them. This is serious stuff and the evidence or lack of it shouldn't matter. President Bush nearly lost the 2000 election for less. And it couldn't happen to a more deserving guy than Kerry.
On the original post by the Chief, he told people to spread it far and wide.
Be seeing you!
As a said in my earlier post (#487), officers do not receive discharges like enlisted personnel, i.e, other than honorable, bad conduct, dishonorable, etc. The procedures of involuntary separation for US Naval officers can be found in SECNAVINST 1920.6B.

In the old way of doing things, those tactics kept the word from getting out. The Internet changed everything. No matter what the MSM does, the word gets out.
The entire thread has disappeared now. They want the RIGHT people to have it first.
They just removed another post that said Zell Millers Office has been notified, and they are floored, and documentation being sent over to their office now.
I had copied and pasted it to notepad before it was deleted:
"The chief got through to Zell Miller. Chief's post follows:
got through to Zell Miller's office. They are dumb founded.
Sending the info to them now."
They want this to blindside Kerry so pulled it until others who can report this publicly have it in their hands.
Powerline has picked up this as well.
it might be James Webb:
"Mr. Carter invoked his powers as commander in chief and ordered that the "bad paper" military discharges of hundreds of thousands of deserters, malcontents and nonperformers be mandatorily upgraded, so long as they met one of six easily attained criteria."

James Webb was an Assistant Secretary of Defense and Secretary of the Navy in the Reagan Administration.
Where is this post on the swiftvet site (url please)?
OTH for a Commissioned Officer is headline news. It's conceivable that he was asked to resign his Commission in lieu of courts-martial.
This is where my knowledge gives out. Is that a bright-line rule? If so, I agree that's the bottom line.
url to swiftvet post...
never mind...I found it
WOW!
Bill Mittendorf, who was once Secretary of the Navy during the Ford administration, was there (he has a house in old-guard Little Compton). Sen. Lincoln Chafee (R.I.), a Republican and the only former farrier (professional horse shoe-er) in the Senate — so far as we know — didn’t make it.

anybody know who the former secretary is?
That depends on the meaning of the word 'is'.
I hate to do this, but I just got out of a meeting...can you please fill me in on this breaking story(it can be short and brief) I appreciate it!
The MSM and the demonrats are on the same team. Time from rumor to air about 5 minutes. Our time is considerably longer.
