With all of the hubbub about President Bush's National Guard service, where is the outcry for Kerry to sign SF-180 to authorize the release of ALL of his records? The news media has given Kerry a pass of incredible proportions. As the prospective Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces, I think that it is high time to really see ALL of Kerry's Official service record.
I want to see his OERs (not OETRs).
I want to see his complete medical records.
I want to know what actions the US military took subsequent to his 1971 testimony - since he was a Reserve Naval Officer at the time.
I want to read about any Article 32 investigations undertaken subsequent to his testimnoy before the US Senate.
I want to read his offical Naval after action reports.
I want to know how he got out of his term of service early.
I want to know why he has three separate citations for the Silver Star.
I want to know why his "Honorable Discharge" is dated 2001 - instead of 1973.
As a Viet Nam Veteran and former US Marine, I am appalled that this man has mis-represented his service, eluded and evaded every attempt to force him to open ALL of his military records. Every Vet I know would - in a NY minute - fill out an SF-180 to put these questions to rest. No person who values duty, honor and contry would do less. The people voting for a leader of our country in this global war on terrorism have a RIGHT to know the whole picture of that would be leader.
I know that several organizations (notably the SwiftVets) have asked for this, but we "pajama people" need to help raise this demand above the normal dim mud slinging so that all can see it in the light of day.
As we have seen over the last couple of weeks, we have real power as a team. No longer to we blindly accept the swill the MSM spews at us.
The REAL story is not about SwiftVets or NG service - it is how a Senator and would be President can continue to hide the TRUTH about his past - in plain sight.
I am glad you are bringing this up.
All of sudden nobody is talking about Kerry's records, when in fact that should be in all the papers.
Why isn't Kerry refuting the Swift Boat Vets accusations, by just simply signing a 180???
I heard Kerry released SOME of his military paperwork, but indeed not all of it. He continues to NOT even do what Bush did, by filling out the SF-180 because he would get it all stuffed right up his catsup factory if he did that (chuckle) -- does it even make much difference at this point since he is an ESTABLISH LIAR, AN ESTABLISHED SCUM BAG, and the world knows it....
Any other actions by Kerry at this point are JUST TO KEEP ATTENTION OFF HIS REAL RECORD ON THE IMPORTANT ISSUES...LIKE NATIONAL DEFENSE, THE MILITARY, HIS SENATE RECORD, ETC.
TOTALLY UNFIT FOR COMMAND !!!!!
He's told the whole country repeatedly about his 3 Purple Hearts, except he doesn't mention that he earned them in 4 months without spending a day in a hospital. Band-Aid Purple Hearts aren't cool...
Waaaaaait a minute. You don't suppose........
Late last week, 4 cartons of Kerry material were found
to be available for copying at the US Navy Archives.
This material may be materially different from the
National Archive documents researched and used to
support "Unfit for Command".
The Swifties are copying and examining as we speak.
They are being very tight-lipped about it, wanting
to fully understand it, cross-check it and see
where else it leads.
However, the AP has copied it, as have some other
parties (anyone can). Portions can appear anywhere,
anytime now.
O'Neill was waving around what may have been a
previously unseen AAR on Hannity&Compromised tonite.
It fully supports the UFC version of the Silver
Star action.
WHAT IS JOHN KERRY HIDING FROM THE AMERICAN PUBLIC AND WHY ISN’T THE MEDIA ASKING FOR JOHN KERRY TO SIGN FORM 180 LIKE GEORGE BUSH DID?
IF JOHN KERRY WON’T SIGN FORM 180 IT PROVES HE IS HIDING SOMETHING AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SHOULD NOT VOTE FOR A PERSON WHO IS DECEIVING THEM.
JOHN KERRY MADE HIS MILITARY SERVICE THE CENTRAL POINT IN HIS BIT FOR THE PRESIDENCY YET HE REFUSED TO SIGN FORM 180 AND RELEASE HIS MILITARY RECORDS. UNTIL JOHN KERRY SIGNS FORM 180 HIS CANDADICY FOR THE PRESIDENCY IS A SHAM.
It's a double-standard thing. You wouldn't understand.
I hope the blogs don't forget hillary. Her records/FBI files need to be pushed hard over the next 4-5 years. Make her do some splaining, which she dare not do.(Of course this will make her highly qualified to be C.I.C. per CBS!)
I saw O'Neill this evening on H&C and he was waving an interesting document. We've not heard the last from those wonderful guys!
This is what prompted me to write the article. I am very concerned that in the rush of congratulating ourselves on the "Memogate" mess, we are missing the forest for the trees. Not to denigrate - in any way - the fine investigative work by our "pajama people", but the release of Kerry's records is essential to understanding who we are really dealing with here.
We all have our pet notions about who Kerry really is. But it would "seal the deal" for so many people to finally lay to rest the fiction he has wrapped himself in since 1971.
Well, that's the point - the records posted on Kerry's website are a mere smidgen of what SHOULD be posted there. In fact, the records he posted are what prompted the discussion - interestingly just prior to the "Memogate" stuff - about the Silver Star w/Combat V device mentioned in those papers. There is no such configuration of the Silver Star. And, since the "record" (and Lord knows after this past week I use THAT term loosely) he has posted looks official, it should be prompting EVERY news service to find out why.
But it is not. Kerry is getting a pass of epic proportions, and we have the will and the means to force his hand.
Amen! I will go a step further, however, and say that we must have a call to action that forces him to release those records. In every communication we have with any form of the media, we should demand that he sign the 180. In fact, what a great chat - "Sign the 180!, Sign the 180!, Sign the 180!". An excellent FReep project for one of his appearances... It might even prompt some numbskull reporter to ask what that means...
Thanks for the pointer infidel - and BTW - I LOVE your tag line! Maximus! Maximus! Maximus!
I just called it and it first rings as sort of an electronic ring, then switches into a FAX tone.
Wouldn't it just be a "shame" if CBS were suddenly overloaded with FAXES from concerned Americans who are tired of the BLATANT R.I.C.O. FRAUD which they conspired to perpetrate to overturn a Presidential Election?
That FAX number again is 1-212-975-1998.
