UPDATE III: I asked Swift Boat Veteran For Truth John O'Neill for a comment, he tells me:

'We called for Kerry to execute a form which would permit anyone to examine his full and unexpulgated military records at the Navy Department and the National Personnel Records Center.

Instead he executed a form permitting his hometown paper to obtain the records currently at the Navy Department. The Navy Department previously indicated its records did not include various materials.

This is hardly what we called for. If he did execute a complete release of all records we could then answer questions such as (1)Did he ever receive orders to Cambodia or file any report of such a mission (whether at Christmas or otherwise); (2) What was his discharge status between 1970 and 1978 (when he received a discharge) and was it affected by his meetings in 1970 and 1971 with the North Vietnamese? (3)why did he receive much later citations for medals purportedly signed by Secretary Lehman who said he did not know of them; (4) Are there Hostile Fire and Personnel Injured by Hostile Fire Reports for Kerry's Dec. 1968 Purple Heart (when the officer in charge of the boat Admiral Schacte, the treating Surgeon Louis Letson, and Kerry's Division Commander deny there was hostile fire causing a scratch) awarded three months later under unknown circumstances.

good info, and lots more to come. there are several Kerry ping lists...and they all include TONK!!!!

I am really surprised that the Boston Herald or the New York Post haven't undertaken this mission to uncover whatever is going on with sKerry...

and Lipscomb...when he DOES get the story, he ought to offer it to the NYTimes, WaPost, and of course, the good-guy papers, to make sure it gets traction.

If the papers choose not to print it, then we can go after them, again.

What, praytell, was the last authentic investigative story that Woodward/Bernstein went after. . .what DO these Journalists do anymore. . .talk about the old days? What???

Disgusting, Lib Media; but yes; there are the 'others' out there. . .and what are they doing with this?

Guess Fox is too busy with the young girl in Aruba and speculating. as well, on the Michael Jackson verdict. . .

The Form 180 has a section where the requester can indicate either an UNDELETED report of separation or a DELETED report of separation.

We don't have a copy of what Kerry submitted, but if he authorized only a DELETED form, then the newspaper is missing:

Authority for separation

Reason for separation

Reenlistment eligibility
