An officer can offer to resign in lieu of court-martial and try to bargain his way to an honorable characterization of service, but such an offer is rarely approved. Really? I did not know this. Interesting.
IMO Rathergate was an attempt by the DNC/Kerry and CBS, to set a example.....In other words now when anyone comes forward with info about KERRY, ALL NETWORKS will not run item fearing them to be fake. All this Rathergate was a hit Rather took for the team. Notice how nothing the Swiftboat say and this discharge info is no longer in the MSM.
