The truth here is...that if a serious Vietnam War vet...chooses to run in the next Senate election against Kerry, and completely opens up all of his records...Kerry will have to open up his or face defeat. And Kerry can't afford to admit to the public that he was "booted" out of the navy, and that Carter's adminstration just wrote up a nice general discharge instead. It'll be black and white in the records...which you really wouldn't want to admit. I think we need to find a clean-cut Republican from Mass...who has a open history...and just let him run as a "open-book". Kerry wouldn't be able to debate the guy without this topic coming up.
