John Kerry's Dis-Honorable Discharge?

I don't see that he did anything while in the service that would have earned him the ire of the Navy at the time. Whether we like it or don't, Kerry's statements after the war to the Senate and in demonstrations are protected speech.

You don't see. Period. And you are terribly wrong. Period.

Thank you,
I will do my best and sorry about yesterday it was pure emotion just like you said. If you have any advice to share feel free to do so.

How are you faring your first few days? Pretty big place here, isn't it? Here, I got you something:

Posting Guidelines
Broadly stated, the goals of this site are to further conservatism, expose political corruption, and recover a truly constitutional form of government. If these are not your goals, you may find another discussion site more suitable.

Free Republic expects users to follow a few simple posting guidelines (described below) and by posting to the forum you and others agree to abide by them. While Free Republic is not edited or censored, it does reserve the right to remove any postings that are considered inappropriate. Examples of inappropriate posts are those that are off-subject or contain advertising, pornography, obscene material, racist material, Nazi (or other hate group) material, materials promoting violence, threats or illegal acts, etc.

These guidelines are intended to help maintain a useful amount of order in a large site like this and to promote better posting. They may be revised without notice. Users of Free Republic should also understand that this is a privately owned, not-for-profit site and that they are guests here. The owner reserves the right to revoke posting privileges and, when necessary, to permanently ban individuals.

Do lead by example - Nothing improves a forum more than posters who reason sharply, write well, and have some perspective about it all. Be one of them.
Do preview - Preview twice, post once. And, ahem, close your HTML tags before you hit the reply button. (More on that below.)
Do keep it clean - A bruise or two between Freepers is tolerable, but refrain from abusive attacks, engaging in senseless flame wars, and using profane language. Considering the range of topics we discuss, it's hard to be a family site, but that's what we aim for when at all possible.
Do "take it to the Alley" - The Alley is a public chat room. A link to it is provided on the latest posts page. Invite people there if you want to talk things over or settle a score, so to speak, off site.
Do use common sense - If you read a post that sounds too good or strange to be true, it probably is.
Do stay on topic - If you are going to post an article, make sure you are placing it in the correct topic area.
Do include the original title - When you post an article, be sure to include the original title where appropriate. This helps users find the article and lessens the chance of a double post.
Do keep "vanity" posts to a minimum - Free Republic is primarily a place to discuss news, articles, and editorials. Vanity posts, creations of the poster him or herself, should meet a high standard of quality before one is even considered worthy of posting. Often a relevant current thread or general announcement, catch-all thread is a much better choice for a brief question or comment.
Don't jump threads - If you get involved in an argument in one thread, it's considered poor manners to restart the previous argument in the middle of an unrelated thread.
Don't spam - Post your message once. If you are not sure if it has posted, check the latest posts page.
Don't violate poster privacy - Don't reveal online another poster's phone number, address, or other information that the person hasn't already made public for everyone on Free Republic. If you are asked for a friend's email address, the best advice usually is to forward the request to the friend. He or she can then decide whether to respond.
Don't play games - Don't represent yourself as another person, create or use another screen name to avoid a revocation of posting privileges, misrepresent the site or your role in it, and don't misattribute a contribution you've made. (Parody exceptions would apply to the latter, of course, but it should be clear what you are doing.)
Don't be a whiner - If you really, really find Free Republic not to your liking, let the webmaster know directly (jimrob@psnw.com), learn to live with it, or move along.

Thank You :)

Reading, learning, adjusting, I want to fit in.
Feel free to offer me any advice you deem proper for anything I post or respond to and the manner of both. I appreciate you time and trouble and again I thank you.

Wasn't on the lookout for you but had just relocated the help page when I ran into your post.

BUMP

I know, I really mean what I said. I welcome you help :) Hope you're having a good day considering we have to deal with this Guardian columnist he is such an embarrassment to journalism.

If it weren't for jerks to pick on, how would relieve our political stresses?

LOL so true!
Happy hunting! :)

I hear its liberal hunting season but unlike dear they have no good points, a buck can come up with around eight of them.

Pardon the pun.

LOL-Now I agree that there is plenty in skerry's present and past senate "career" to work against his election.

Also, it perhaps is not the best action to dis his active duty incidents.

However, if the veterans(especially the Swiftees)feel they need to address it-they have absolutely earned the right and I would be the last to criticize them.

With respect to his extraordinary activities with the VVAW I feel very strongly that the American people should know the full story to include any dishonorable discharge and punishment received for violations of the UCMJ.

John Kerry stated on Meet The Press that he would release all his military records-He has not signed the 180. After the way the press has hounded President Bush, I am outraged (OUTRAGED I tell you) that there has not been a steady, daily drumbeat insisting that skerry sign the 180!!!

I am too smart to hate puns.

George Bernard Shaw, whom I generally disagreed with, said one intelligent thing, at least. He said that "people who hate a pun do so only because they didn't think of it first."

If Mr. Kerry (who was Ensign Kerry still in the reserves) had a security clearance...and went to Paris, and met with members of a communist government (rules of the 1970s)...and never told the military about those meetings until after his 15 minutes of fame in the senate meeting...then there was just cause for a dishonorable. I admit the scenario has yet to be proven (or disproven), but thats the only way that the navy would have given him a less-than-honorable discharge. And whats interesting is that he had to wait until President steps into office and changes the rules about upgrades on discharge program within DOD. The timeline works perfect with this scenario.

I think most people want to know how he got originally discharged and if he did a upgrade...which would be easily proven if he released his records. And most folks would ask why a young fellow would get a less-than-honorable discharge. This is a issue-discharge and shows a character flaw....a serious flaw.

At the least it is still worth pursuing after we defeat Lurch & Co. aka Dem & Demmer! I say that because the truth should be known and sets the table for 2008 by showing how flawed this candidate is and how biased the MSM was to turn their heads and look away. It will also shove vindication in the face of Democrats who claim he is better than our great president.

Don't hold your breath, he would do so at his own peril. It would be the end of his campaign if any of this has merit
