This thread is powerful. I feel a little sick to my stomach that this man would get the Democratic nomination.

This may have been covered elsewhere but wasn't Kerry still a member of our armed forces when whe went to Paris to convort with our enemy? Surely, this is/was against the law.

I think "Seeking the truth" has a good question. There is something in Kerry's military records that he is hiding. Supposedly, Admiral Zumwalt was very negative on Kerry. Does anyone have Kerry's dates of service handy?

On Thursday March 4th, during a live online discussion, David Broder was asked the following question. Note well his (non)answer:

Washington, D.C.: Sen. Kerry parades around former Sen. Max Cleland, who lost three limbs in an accident in Vietnam, like Jerry Lewis on a telethon so as to burnish his Vietnam combat credentials, yet he refuses to authorize the release of his records documenting his three Purple Heart earning flesh wounds.

When is the press going to put the pressure on Kerry that they put on President Bush about his Guard records?

After all, Kerry used those three Purple Hearts to get out of Vietnam after four short months -- leaving his 'band of brothers' to fight on without him.

David Broder: You imply something dishonorable about Sen. Kerry's war record. I know of nothing that supports that suspicion. Do you have any such evidence?

/end excerpt/

Mr. Broder, when will you and the rest of the "media" apply equal pressure on Kerry to release his military records, as you all did with Bush and his records?

The silence from the media speaks volumes.

The author of Tour of Duty said on C-SPAN the other night that not many people know that Kerry stayed in Uniform after he returned from Vietnam (as an assistant to some officer). He supposedly got out of service when he wanted to run for Congress.

Think you are right!

I saw once, somewhere on the web, Kerry's service dates. I know that he was attached to the Naval Reserve Manpower Center in Bainbridge, Maryland at the time he went to Paris to meet the enemy. The weird thing I noticed was that despite having met his time requirements years earlier, he did not recieve his honorable discharge till like 1983. Personally I believe that one of the things hidden in the records Kerry does not want shown is a less than honorable discharge at an earlier date. The UCMJ section 904, article 104 describes meeting's like Kerry's with the enemy as AIDING THE ENEMY. It has the death penalty. The definition of Traitor is one who commits treason. Treason is defined as providing aid to the enemy. There you go. Undeniable proof Kerry is a traitor.

Right after I posted the last reply I decided to do a little looking. I found this.

I think you will find it extremely helpful in answering your questions. I think it may raise a few new questions as well.
