There is one odd coincidence that gives some weight to the possibility that Mr. Kerry was dishonorably discharged. Mr. Kerry has claimed that he lost his medal certificates and that is why he asked that they be reissued. But when a dishonorable discharge is issued, all pay benefits, and allowances, and all medals and honors are revoked as well. And five months after Mr. Kerry joined the U.S. Senate in 1985, on one single day, June 4, all of Mr. Kerry's medals were reissued.

This is the most revealing paragraph in the article. It explains why the medal certificates were re-issued.

The article said But when a dishonorable discharge is issued,all pay benefits, and allowances, and all medals and honors are revoked as well. And five months after Mr. Kerry joined the U.S.Senate in 1985, on one single day, June 4, all of Mr. Kerry's medals were reissued.

Then you said: This is the most revealing paragraph in the article. It explains why the medal certificates were re-issued.

I agree 100%. It explains a lot, finally drawing together a number of loose ends that have been bothering me. I've felt that the Swifties had something really shattering on Kerry and were stringing out their ads before releasing it.

This is why the title of the Swift Boat vets book is so revealing, and must be giving Kerry nightmares waiting for their last shoe to drop.

For me, and I've been saying this for some time, the last shoe is a copy of some document that says this - either a dishonorable discharge, or explaining why the medals had to be reissued, or maybe even using the official language of "unfit for command". Said document was probably authored by one of the swifties.

When they do place said document before the American public, I think it would be only fitting if they were to fax copies of it to the media houses - from a Kinko's in Abilene, Texas.
