YW: "I have wondered why some of the swiftvets haven't/didn't mention this, some of them were his officers, etc. Why hasn't the officer who signed/filed/whatever the original discharge come forward?"
Perhaps the person is no longer alive. And if they are alive perhaps they out of honor simply feel they have no right to devulge such information. Surely, there are rules of conduct Navy officers and enlisted men/women must adhere to. Who knows.
I doubt Kerry's Less Than Honorable Discharge from the Naval Reserves had anything to do with what he did while on the Swift Boats so many Swift Vets may not know any more than we do.
It is far more likely Kerry's Less Than Honorable Discharge resulted from the Anti-American (Treasonous) things he did after he came home.
