Kerry Hedges on Form 180

Sen. John Kerry reiterated his pledge on Monday to sign the form that would allow the government to release all his military records, but said he wanted to know exactly what was in his file before doing so.

"I have a stack of different material they sent me," Kerry told radio host Don Imus. "Every time they send me something I want to know what they sent me."

"I'll get it done," Kerry insisted in the next breath.

Last week the 2008 presidential hopeful suggested he wanted to review his full Navy file to make sure of "what is in the record and what isn't in the record" before signing Form 180.

"I'm going to sit down with them and make sure that they are clear and I am clear as to what is in the record and what isn't in the record and we'll put it out," he told "Meet the Press" host Tim Russert.

Kerry did not explain his reference to "what isn't in the record," though questions arose late in the campaign about why he received his honorable discharge six years after leaving the service.

Pressed earlier today on when he intended to sign Form 180, Kerry said only, "Shortly."

The full exchange went like this:

IMUS: You also told Tim that you would sign Form 180 releasing all of your military records. Have you done that?

KERRY: Yeah. We're gonna do that. Absolutely, I will. But listen, I also think . . .

IMUS: When are you going to do that?

KERRY: As soon as I get, as required by the military, precisely . . .

IMUS: Why don't you do it today?

KERRY; Because I have a stack of different material they sent me. Every time they send me something I want to know what they sent me. I'll get it done. . . .

IMUS: By noon today?

KERRY: No. But shortly. [END OF EXCERPT]

He may send Sandy Berger over to check out the original files, nod, nod, wink, wink.

I'm saying Kerry's DD 214 had to be recorded at his home of record shortly after SEPROS. It would be a county record in Massachusetts. Not a federal record.

Maybe they'll have the orders sending him to Cambodia on the secret mission Christmas eve???

'Kerry still can't speak a 'clear sentence'!"

==========================================

What more can we expect - he's just another professional poltician.

LOL, Happy, we need to teach the politicians 'Pig Latin' and we could understand what they say better!

I actually had some hopes for Obama, based on his fairly civilized convention speech. I did note, however, that he scowled on cue throughout the State of the Union speech, along with the rest of the rats. Looks like a "party line" kind of guy.

[razorback-bert]

He is making noise about running again and certain dem-O-rats don't want him too.

It was not a requirement. I registered my DD214 with my county cleark because they recommended it at the time--the justification was that the County Clerk would have a copy in case you lost the original. Here is what the Texas Veterans Commission says:

Safeguard Your Discharge Form (DD214
Your Discharge Form (DD214) is an important document that is the key to receiving many of the benefits that are available to veterans. Safeguarding your DD214 is vital for timely access, as a request for a lost DD214 could take as long as 12 weeks. Although your local County Clerk will register your Discharge free of charge, we recommend safeguarding it in a secure place such as a safe deposit box until legislation passes that will prevent your DD214 from becoming a public record, which could leave you vulnerable to identity theft. It should also be noted that you are not required to register your Discharge with the County Clerk in order to be eligible for any veteran’s benefits.

Q1)How come a Coast Guard Auxiliary member,
like myself, has to agree (which I did) to a
Questionnaire for National Security Positions
To have clearance to a Direct Operational position.
NOTE : This does NOT allow me to have access to any confidential or above data.
AND answer all questions AND agree to allow access to all my records.
Financial, medical and military records.


So does anybody think Hanoi Kerry hasn't agreed
to all of this to get a TOP SECRET clearance?

Q2) Why does the US Senate allow a traitor access
to top secret US intelligence data
BUT does not have access to the traitors
FULL military records?
What do US Senators know about the data in Hanoi Kerry's Form 180?

What is the US Senate hiding?

Does the US Senate think "We the People" are stupid?
