Would a medical/psychiatric discharge be other-than-honorable?
See post #763.
I have posted before about the Kerry mental/psychiatric angle. If he was discovered to have had treatment for delusions, or a breakdown, or some kinda psychotic episode it would give great pause to voters on BOTH sides as it can't be politicized. It has the "eeewwwwuu" factor that would make ALL seriously insecure about his stability in these dangerous times. We know from history that a pervert and a liar can be voted into office but someone with a history of clinical mental health trouble would chill the nation. Remember what happened in '72 to McGovern's first choice for running mate, Thomas Eagleton? Discovered a history of clinical depression and even shock therapy. He resigned immediately.
