Except that Flipper never signed his SF-180 to make his military records available to all - just to a couple of friendly journalists.
But he can believe what he wants. He lost in 2004, and that's what matters.
Yeah, the Boston Globe and of course they will NEVER release them. Kerry did it just so he is able to claim he did release them.
It really grates on me that Slick Willie refused to release his medical records and Untruthful John refused to sign a SF 180 to release his military records and the media gave (and still gives) them a pass. However, President Bush released all of his medical and military records and the media (CBS) published and trumpeted the phony TANG letters and tried to convince the public that they were authentic.
