I saw something the other day on freeperville about this. I fully expect a HUGE thing to be made of this before the election

Honorable Discharge?

In today's New York Sun, Thomas Lipscomb reports on the latest
mystery involving the Vietnam service of John Kerry, who by the way
served in Vietnam:

An official Navy document on Senator Kerry's campaign Web site listed
as Mr. Kerry's "Honorable Discharge from the Reserves" opens a door
on a well-kept secret about his military service.

The document is a form cover letter in the name of the Carter
administration's secretary of the Navy, W. Graham Claytor. It
describes Mr. Kerry's discharge as being subsequent to the review
of "a board of officers." This in itself is unusual. There is nothing
about an ordinary honorable discharge action in the Navy that
requires a review by a board of officers.

According to the secretary of the Navy's document, the "authority of
reference" this board was using in considering Mr. Kerry's record
was "Title 10, U.S. Code Section 1162 and 1163." This section refers
to the grounds for involuntary separation from the service. What was
being reviewed, then, was Mr. Kerry's involuntary separation from the
service. And it couldn't have been an honorable discharge, or there
would have been no point in any review at all. The review was likely
held to improve Mr. Kerry's status of discharge from a less than
honorable discharge to an honorable discharge.

2. opinionjournal?! new york sun?!

These are two far right leaning "publications". Maybe FNC will pick up on this, but there are too many details for their viewers to even understand what they're saying. It smells of a freeper circle jerk, if you ask me.
