Normally I'd totally agree, but Kerry seems to want to be a thorn in Bush's side for the next four years. Had he been a gracious, gentlemanly loser, no problem. I'd even respect that. But he wants to wallow in the insane bizarro-leftist freak world of people like Michael Moore. I say finish him off.
So for both reasons, the issue of Kerry's original discharge should be pursued to a genuine conclusion, and not just die on the vine because the presidential election is over. Following your logic, we should drop the pursuit of Dan Rather because the election in which he demonstrated his dishonesty, is over.

"V for valor on the silver star, which is not awarded"
I would agree with you but I went through the separation process and my DD214 was typed up by a civilian clerk who knew little if anything about awards and more particularly their parameters. My clerk wanted to record a "Sea Sevice Deployment" ribbon though my deployments predated the ribbon's establishment. The individual also wanted to record an "E" ribbon though my service on that ship predated the ribbon's establishment. So, unless JFKerry was pumping his separation clerk to include the "V", I credit it to lack of knowledge on the part of the clerk. The clerk's name is on the form and should some want to check they might be able. Best hurry though as I suspect the individual is well into old age. So what do you call a document which contains false information but was produced by appropriate authority?
Mass voters continue to reelect a drunken murderer to the Senate. They will also continue to reelect a traitor.
Kerry repeatedly raised the subject of his heroism in Vietnam, and he is still an active politician in the Senate. Questions about his military service deserve to be answered by a full release of his records.
Also, those who served, died, were wounded, or came home from Vietnam only to be treated as criminals instead of heroes deserve to have their stolen honor restored. The matter should not be dropped just because kerry, one of those most responsible for villainizing our troops, lost the race.
Also, what about the POW/MIAs who were probably murdered by the North Vietnamese Communists because kerry misused his position on the Senate committee that was supposed to investigate their plight, and instead decided to cover it up? The man who did this deserves to be scorned and punished for his despicable behavior.
There is hope. They did elect a Republican governor.
Okay - somebody has to ask. Has anybody ever checked the font on the discharge that was posted on the John Kerry website? Just to "trust but verify"?
A PeeUUlitzer is waiting for any newsie with the cajones to persue this one.
Would that be before or after he helps OJ find the "real" killer(s)?
I call it John Kerry should know better, because he was an officer, an officer that knew the rules well enough to use three dubious Purple Hearts to skip out on his buddies.
Kerry is a traitor. He is a slick traitor.
Good idea. I have a feeling his DD 214 was typed years after his dishonorable discharge. The DD 214 has the type of discharge, too.
You know, Kerry has 3 sets of citations for his Silver Star. One was done many years later with the wording changed so it wouldn't look like he shot a wounded unarmed enemy in the back.
So if Kerry was dishonorably discharged the first DD214 must exist somewhere and he had to have one the day he got out.
People with questionable discharges need to go see the doctor ASAP...
Let's hope the Swiftvets continue with this.Skerry needs to be exposed for the fraud that he is. I'm confidant that many people here at FR would donate once agian if the Swifties were to do this.
Er..."wrong"?
He DID receive an Honorable, under Lehman's signature (in 1985?), however Lehman claims knew nothing about it. He specultate theat it could have been signed by a "signature machine" sometimes used to produce an "official signature" without burdening the principal from signing a million pieces of paper.
However, that still doesn't explain the unusually late date, and the preceding documentation referring "findings of a review board".
