I'm not sure that's why no one is coming forward. There are probably quite a few people that would have had first or second hand evidence that this happened. I don't think legalities are the only reason. Some options that occur to me are
- he was never dishonorably discharged,
- managed to somehow severly limit the number of people who found out about it,
- all those who found out are dems,
- these people are being threatened if they come forward.

Those are some very good points....I know the SBVT researcher had to dig around for information and found several unexpected "leads" in a box in the repository at the VietNam archives at UT-Austin I believe (maybe San Antonio).....it's just a shame that someone who is seeking the highest office in the land (and leader of the Free World) obviously has something to hide, hence the hesitancy he's exhibited re: signing the Standard Form 180. I just think there are many, many Nam Vets and their families who would love to see this guy go down in the flames he rightfully deserves, in full view of EVERYONE!!

Obviously, Kerry has had the political wheels greased for
him since probably before Vietnam. Who did the greasing?
The Democrat wheel greasing apparatus that has been in
place throughout this country for many years, and his
Communist connections in North Vietnam found him to be
rather useful because of his blazing ambition?

People are complacent since 9/11 because President Bush's
administration has been successful in keeping bin Laden's
minions rounded up and thwarted. They are lulled into
thinking our security is as it has always seemed, just
a permanent birthright.

Perhaps "George Washington's Vision" really happened after
all. When I first read it, it sounded impossible, but
that was before 9/11 and the events up to now. Now it
seems altogether possible. . and even more so with the
specter of the despot appeaser, Kerry coming so close to
gaining power.
