Navy chief on Swiftvets.com is saying they FOUND IT!!
If anyone's interested, NavyChief is a great American Hero, and will go down in history as a man who was instrumental in saving his country from being duped into voting for a communist sympathiser.
Semper Fi, NavyChief!

It gets crazier everyday here. LOL
Breaking folks "Fox news" IMAM has identified man on terror tape IS Adam Gadahhn
So he received a General/Undesireable/Bad Conduct or a Dishonorable discharge, ONE OF THESE FOUR. Unless things changed in the past 20 years or so since I retired.
Sen. Warner's official Senate website verifies that he was appointed Under-Secretary of the Navy in 1969 and was promoted to Secretary of the Navy and left the service and that position in 1974.
So, if we're talking about the Secretary of the Navy that would have been involved in this less than honorable discharge, it will have to be Senator Warner. However, when Lipscombe asked him to comment he said he had no recollection about Kerry. Maybe he's come around.
There is a recent (relatively, as in less than two decades ago) document that asserts an honorable discharge for Ol' Feckless John ... but the original discharge documents are yet to surface.
"Personally, Kerry will simply say, that I was given a less than honorable discharge because I was protesting the war. "
WHY and HOW he was not given an honorable discharge is almost immaterial. The point will be made is that he purposely obfuscated, lied, and withheld information in the course of the campaign. That revelation is going to swing a percentage of voters.
So sir.
I was just an itch in my dad's pants back then. I have no question in my mind that Kerry is a liar and that there is a reason his records have been kept private. The only reason for my post is that every other day around here something pops up (not just Swift Vets) about "the thing" that will finally knock Kerry out.
I still don't think that Kerry has a prayer. I felt strongly enough about Kerry's misrepresentation of his time in Vietnam that I gave money to the Swiftees.
Not before now, but I'm sure Hillary is taking lessons for '08.
Yes. Huge difference. (1) A DD can only be granted after a criminal conviction (i.e., General Court-Martial); (2) a discharge under other than honorable conditions (a.k.a. UOTHC, UO, or OTH) is granted in an administrative discharge proceeding; and (3) even in the wake of a conviction by court-martial, an officer cannot get a DD, only a "dismissal."
If in fact this turns out to be true (and I will believe it when I see it), we need to make sure we have our facts straight. Let sloppiness be the hallmark of CBS, not Freep.
Apparently you're no longer a newbie if you signed up before 9-25-04.
OK man...fight the power!
About 5 or 6 months, at least that was my experience.
HAHAHA.......although hard to tell, since I can't see you....BUT, there are plenty who don't know NC has/is the source of MUCH sound, verifiable information........
Ok. I know it wont pull any of the freaks our way, but perhaps the middle Americans who do what the alphabet networks tell them to do.
This has the making of a real story. Maybe having a traitor as POTUS was enough for Warner to come out with this despite legal fallout.
BUMP!!!
BTW, Liz Taylor's old man....HAHA
And he could be lying, or stretching the truth, or whatever. (NOT that I think he is....)
Chief's word is not enough. It's a rumor until he provides unambiguous proof.
