An official Navy document on Senator Kerry's campaign Web site listed as Mr. Kerry's "Honorable Discharge from the Reserves" opens a door on a well kept secret about his military service.
The document is a form cover letter in the name of the Carter administration's secretary of the Navy, W. Graham Claytor. It describes Mr. Kerry's discharge as being subsequent to the review of "a board of officers." This in it self is unusual. There is nothing about an ordinary honorable discharge action in the Navy that requires a review by a board of officers.
According to the secretary of the Navy's document, the "authority of reference" this board was using in considering Mr. Kerry's record was "Title 10, U.S. Code Section 1162 and 1163. "This section refers to the grounds for involuntary separation from the service. What was being reviewed, then, was Mr. Kerry's involuntary separation from the service. And it couldn't have been an honorable discharge, or there would have been no point in any review at all. The review was likely held to improve Mr. Kerry's status of discharge from a less than honorable discharge to an honorable discharge.
A Kerry campaign spokesman, David Wade, was asked whether Mr. Kerry had ever been a victim of an attempt to deny him an honorable discharge. There has been no response to that inquiry.
The document is dated February 16, 1978.

You won't hear this from the NY Times.
It is. Several times, actually:
This story has only been posted here about a million times, let's have something new!!!!!!!!!!
This is most likely the core reason that Kerry will NOT RELEASE HIS COMPLETE RECORDS. Educated speculation has it that HE WAS ASKED TO RESIGN DUE TO HIS TREASONOUS ACTIONS and maybe even WAS EVENTUALLY PARDONED BY CARTER so he could get his discharge cleaned up.
AND PEOPLE WOULD PUT THIS PILE OF EXCREMENT IN OUR WHITE HOUSE.....God help us.
Your disbelief is well founded. It has been posted several times.

It's definitely worth repeating a million times more....
Good morning Indianprincess OK. Agreed! How did you like Kerry's comments about Native Americans last night?
BEFORE I AMFLAMED I SEARCHED!!! I USED THE SEARCH ENGINE. IT RETURNED NOTHING ON THOSE THREADS.
Mod pull the thread
Search can be funny like that. I wasn't flaming you, BTW.
AND PEOPLE WOULD PUT THIS PILE OF EXCREMENT IN OUR WHITE HOUSE.....God help us.
Geez, there was a pile of excrement in Our White House for eight years, beginning in 1993. He kept a towel by the sink in Our Oval Office so that he could get his discharge cleaned up. :)
One thing to consider, though, is that threads seen only by Freepers have a very limited effect. Threads seen by lurking journalists can have a very great effect.
The famous "Buckhead" thread made a difference only because it was in Breaking News and was picked up by lurkers.

Thank you for posting this, Nov3. I suspect that with the long holiday weekend and a little lag time I am not the only one who appreciates getting my first opportunity to see it.
Some journalist looking for a sure Pulitizer Prize could pick this up and make the full case, then confront Kerry with it (make a career that would make Woodward and Bernstein envious)!
This could be an October Surprise of epic proportions? Ler 'er rip!
I sent a copy to Hannity at fox news
Man, the last thing we need is another president who is distracted by a scandal over his discharge!
