Despite repeated promises over many years, Kerry to this day has released only excerpted (irrelevent) medical records, never his actual Form 180 recapping detailed Military Service.
Kerry's medals are phony, obtained under false pretenses on recommendations that he admittedly wrote himself. After four months in 'Nam, he was effectively cashiered-- rotated Stateside in disgrace. Out of hundreds who had close contact with him, virtually none respected his ability, character, or committment. The handful of later endorsers are uniformly publicity-seekers, ready to issue any statement whatever for a fee.
After Kerry's extraordinary Congressional testimony plus clandestine meetings with North Vietnamese envoys in Gay Paree, his self-awarded "decorations" were revoked and he received an overdue Dishonorable Discharge from the U.S. Naval Reserve (conviction for High Treason would have been more appropriate). For some years, until Jimmy Carter betrayed his oath as Commander in Chief, all mention of Kerry's military career disappeared down various Memory Holes. Suddenly --ta-rah!-- Jimmeh's "general pardon" obscured, but could not erase, Comrade Kerry's treacherous historical record.
Kerry's "medals" reappeared-- he had not, it seems, thrown them at the Pentagon after all. To this day, his statue as Hero of the Vietnamese Communist Revolution stands full-scale in Hanoi's war museum. His accusations of American atrocities; his undercover dealings with America's enemies in wartime; his slander of critics and opponents-- only longstanding, formal documentation remains to confirm every item. Kerry cannot, will not, sign his Form, but he can continue indefinitely to lie about it.
If this creep was a Republican, we would have had leaks galore over the last several decades. Anyone interviewing this popinjay who does not, first, present a Form 180 for signature on the spot, or second, press for serial admission of lies going back decades, is merely another retro-Left propagandist, unworthy of minimal respect.
"So, Senator Kerry, you admit promising to make your records public. You have not done so, and refuse to do so now. Tell us, Senator, prior to Carter's blanket whitewash, were you not Dishonorably Discharged? Are your constituents such clueless dolts that they don't know the difference?"
Well said -thank you.
Kennedy got him off, there is no doubt in my mind. He probably got him stateside too.
Compare pictures of the Kennedy clan, as young men, put them next to one of this treasonous scum, and tell me they aren't related! I swear he is Teddy boys kid.
I don't think he has a statue, does he? It's a photograph of the "Hero of the Vietnamese Communist Revolution" (at least as shown below). Never forget what that Bastard did.!!!
