He received a less than honorable and it was reviewed under the Carter program.

Kerry signed an SF 180 allowing partial access to his records. He did not allow all of them to be released.

Why did Kerry promise to sign an SF 180 in an interview AFTER the election? Why did he promise to release ALL of his records in the interview AFTER the election?

You have not debunked anything. A child? The only child commenting here is you.

I would be happy if you went back to the children’s playground and stayed away from here. I am tired of the lies and your presence has caused a number of people to stop coming here. You are driving away readers.

With you it’s often hard to know where the dumb ends and the dishonesty begins. In this case I think you are just being dishonest:

“On May 20, Kerry signed a document called Standard Form 180, authorizing the Navy to send an ”undeleted” copy of his ”complete military service record and medical record” to the Globe.”
Boston Globe

As I already referenced, he also did this for
the Associated Press, and the Los Angeles Times.

Bigd: “if Kerry did this why did he make the promise, when the election was over, to sign an SF 180.”

DAR
Continued from above:

“Asked why he delayed signing the form for so long, Kerry said in a written response: ”The call for me to sign a 180 form came from the same partisan operatives who were lying about my record on a daily basis on the Web and in the right-wing media. Even though the media was discrediting them, they continued to lie. I felt strongly that we shouldn’t kowtow to them and their attempts to drag their lies out.”

Basically, because of all of the lying assholes.

Bigd: “since an honorable discharge was present that the case is closed?>>

DAR
Yeah, the case is closed. Stop lying. It’s disgraceful.

Bigd: “And if you could read for comprehension you would see that I did not assert that he had been [Dishonorably Discharged] I stated it was likely.”>>

DAR
Quote: “That Dishonorable Discharge would have been changed under a program…”

What part of your own writing are you failing to comprehend? Be a man and take responsibility for what you write. Even though it’s usually garbage so dishonest a child could debunk it.

Bigd: “Perhaps this will help you.”>>

DAR
It’s never helpful to read lies. Your source claims:

“Thomas Lipscomb asserts that in all probability, Sen. John F. Kerry originally received a less-than-honorable discharge…”

You really have no clue whatsoever ever do you?

Oh, and your blog article is nicely dismantled in it’s own comment thread.

Kind of like how it works around here.

With respect to Kerry’s discharge from the Naval Reserve, Rowan Scarborough of the Washington [Moonie] Times wrote:

“A second charge is that Mr. Kerry did not successfully fulfill his time in the Reserves, so a special board had to be convened to determine what type of discharge he should receive.

Navy documents show that in 1978, he received an “honorable discharge certificate” after a board of officers convened and reviewed his record.”
–ibid

And if you could read for comprehension you would see that I did not assert that he had been I stated it was likely. You claim that since an honorable discharge was present that the case is closed?

However, I did write dishonorable when it is LIKELY that he had a LESS THAN HONORABLE discharge though we will not know without seeing the records.

Well, as I recall, the date on the Honorable DC was well after he was released and after Jimmy Carter ordered all military personnel who received Dishonorable DCs for their anti war activities changed to Honorable ones.

And Darrel, how funny? You say smearing veterans with lies (which I did not do) and you wrote it in defense of John Kerry who smeared veterans with lies when he was part of the anti war movement. It has been shown that he lied about many of his claims. He smeared veterans, the REAL heroes.

Kerry did not release all his records, his service remains fuzzy and he was likely dishonorably discharged before that was changed.

He could clear it up by honoring his promise to sign the 180 to release all his records.

Perhaps this will help you.

“During the 2004 campaign, Kerry released hundreds of documents related to his military service, including his reserve and discharge documents.[55]

Kerry was criticized by SBVT and some media entities for not authorizing independent public access to his privacy protected service records.[75] After the election, on May 20, 2005, he did sign a Standard Form 180 allowing full release of all his military service records,[76] including his reserve and discharge records, as well as his medical records, to the Associated Press, the Boston Globe, and the Los Angeles Times.”

etc.

Even your Moonie Times debunked this one.
