You suggest the 3rd PH. Maybe. I think it is something very much more damning.
He enlisted in 1966 and got a discharge in 1978, 12 years. He wants us to focus on only 14 weeks of this 12 years, to ignore 11.6 years.
I think there are some terrible secrets in there. Courtmartial for a lesser form of treason and less than honorable discharge, performance reports that say he is fit to be anything but sewer worker or Senator from Mass., homosexual activity, marrying a Viet Cong spy or other terrible things. Just as we never saw Willie's medical records, we'll never see Traitor John's military records necause he'd have to resign if we did.
The media will pass up pulitzer prizes and lucrative book potential (movies) rather than follow up. Imagine what that guy at the Post could make if he found and published the truth! Naw, he'd be a neocommunist outcast!
You may be on to something.
My own theory is that Kerry's medical records will show that his "wounds" were laughable and, perhaps even more damning (if Kerry received military medical treatment after he returned)they may show that Kerry was treated or counselled for stress related disorders. We know about his regular nightmares(breaking up the furniture and such). Also, I think that in some of his prior interviews (previously posted here)he has dodged the question about therapy for post traumatic stress disorder. (BTW - I am brand new posting, but have been lurking for years.)
