Though I cannot find it officially, it was no state secret that Kerry
officially got an Honorable Discharge in March, 2001 from the Pentagon.
Honorable is Honorable, if you see Bush as serving Honorably, though records
of a 6 month period of his duty is somehow not available, and he states
simply that he served.
You can't find record of it because the Military does not public DD-214's
and Kerry didn't want his public. Kerry was discharged in 76 if I recall
correctly, if he says the date is 2001 on his Honorable then it's a change
to his original status - his record on-file for his actual discharge would
indicate a true discharge data of 1976, not a changed discharge
disposition in 2001.
He's not a traitor, you need to prove the 214 thingie, not I, and he got 3
Purple hearts, not one. Whether he expected to be or not to be in combat is
Actually, I don't need to prove anything, no Vet, myself included, that
got an Honorable discharge after service would feel any reason to hide
their DD-214 from the public when seeking a public office.
Yes, I know he got 3 of them, and he put himself in for ALL THREE OF THEM.
irrelevant, he did do it though. Many men don't expect to be in combat,
that were in his position, but they had it anyway, so are they traitors
for having thoughts? He got his PHs from his superiors, and through the
proper methods. A wound is a wound, so tell your crap to others that
served honorably, that got PH(s) for paper cuts also, I bet you don't!
No, his actions don't say the same as his peers thoughts - his peers
didn't skip out by purposely dishonoring the purple heart medal. His
superiors DID NOT, and not one of them says they did, put him in for the
purple heart awards. A wound is only a wound if you need medical attention
and it take you out of action for any length of time - a scratch, while it
may count as a wound, if self inflicted is not really an wound, it's a
scam like most of his statements and actions in those days.
I was injured in the line of duty a number of times, even have a couple
scars to show for it, almost lost my life one time, but I never considered
it any more than just another days work and never asked for any special
treatment or any medals for it either. From what Kerry has said about his
injuries most people that spend 6 months state side in the Air Force have
more serious injuries than he did....
I have no problems with Honorable Vets, or even ones that didn't get an
Honorable discharge, but I do have a problem with a Public Servant trying
to use his dishonor to win votes and to hide his discharge from the public
he wants support from. Kerry was not given a honorable discharge, it's not
on file, and if you manage to find something dated other than 1976, it was
an amended discharge that was part of an Amnesty action by Carter for
people that skipped out to Canada and such, which didn't happen in 1976
either.
Now, when you get some facts come back and state them.
Fact: Kerry won't release his official service discharge paper-work from
76.
Fact: Kerry put himself in for the Purple Hearts - his own words.
Fact: Kerry worked against the people he served with in propaganda
messages to the world through enemy meetings. Kerry tells about this in
his own writings, and he's proud of it.
Fact: Kerry has nothing to stand for and believes in nothing except what
the particular group he's speaking to wants to hear, even when it
contradicts the speech/talks he game to the prior group the week before.
