Kerry's Dishonorable Discharge...

"Never suppose that in any possible situation, or under any circumstances, it is best for you to do a dishonorable thing..." --Thomas Jefferson

"Reporting for duty"? For a guy who's hitched his entire presidential campaign to his military service record, John Kerry sure is parsimonious when it comes to releasing that record. As noted in this column on more than one occasion, Kerry has consistently refused to sign a Standard Form 180 authorizing the Department of Defense to release all of his records.

I've been reading your posts. For some strange (and hopeful) reason, I believe you.

I keep telling my husband not to worry. We WILL have 4 more years! I just know it.

I do love the phrase "shock and awe."

Now I am curious ... Here is the official Carter pardon from DOJ. It doesn't say directly whether a discharge could be changed -- I would imagine that some lawyer could interpret if the less than honorable discharge would qualify. My guess is it does.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JANUARY 21, 1977

Office of the White House Press Secretary

More info -- Here is a page from a group which was pushing for pardons of less than honorable discharges. Clearly fixing less than honorable discharges was something being talked about at the time.

"...donate 25 bucks to swifities..."

Yeah, I know. I donated $50 today to the Swifties (God bless them!), and this month have donated to the NRA and the GOP also.

I wonder why our media does not endlessly question him on his unwillingness to release his military, medical and tax records? I know most media favors him, but the desire for full disclosure is firmly imprinted on every reporter.

Why doesn't someone from FoxNews ask him???

Kerry is a fraud. And if he becomes President this country will be shown to be a fraud for letting it happen ....... no, for promoting him.

[beyond the sea]

Actually, it is sickening how pusillanimous & overtly complicit the old media have been this election year.

It's more. It's corrupt and will be the downfall of the nation. The old media is the most ruthless and destructive institution in the country.

The bigwigs in the old media should all be taken out in the ocean and dropped in the water and left there.

[beyond the sea]

Forshadowing the October suprise?

Very interesting. I thought the same thing.

Setting the stage?

[beyond the sea]

Great post!

The old socialist media is the most ruthless and destructive institution in the country.

If they succeed in promoting this evil pretender into the Presidency this country will not survive.

Just think of the people Kerry will put in high places in his Kabinet and elsewhere!!!!

[PatriotGirl827]

That's music to my ears!

[Old anti feminist]

Someone out there knows about his dishonorable discharge. Why don't they come forward? A panel discussed it at the time. Where are they?

I hear you........... here's hoping we don't have to deal with the sick b*stard after Nov. 2nd, or however long it takes to get all the lawyers out of our hair! This election will be most likely much worse than 2000, and I almost died then!

Thank God for Circuit Court Judge N. Sander Sauls in Leon County, Fla. He was the MAN.

[clyde260]

"it is much worse for him than you can image.."

Hey, you! You better not be teasing us. That wouldn't be very nice.

Seriesly, if this is really hugh, do we have to fear sHrilliary stepping in to run for him?

i believe this will be self combustion but it may not get played... this is chess... and we have to have the timing and the opportunity..... we need to see their moves as well....

and who knows who will deliver what when.... there are some big players workin this....

[snuffy smiff]
