There are also photos of him burning an American flag. One of the swift boat veterans was asked if they had tape of such a flag burring, and they said no.
However I think it is obvious that Kerry did not initially get an honorable discharge, because we know his discharge was upgraded later. What isn't clear are the circumstances surrounding the original discharge.

Speaking of Dishonorable Discharges, or like is over wishing. A DD could only be issued by a Court Marshal (SP)
But a "bad paper" discharge would have cut off any VA benefit, like Schooling or home purchases using VA as a guarantee. While the boy has a fancy lineage, it was the "poor" side of the family. He was always the "poor child with his face pressed against the window". Couple that with a hugh ego, and the Gin Soaked One looks real good.
