Subject: Kerry's Navy discharge date?

The following brings up an issue that may have come up before. I had
noticed that his discharge was dated in 2001 but didn't think much about it. The enclosed raises some interesting aspects.

"Unlike McCain, Bush, and Gore, while Kerry has adamantly refused to
authorize the release of his military records. Most think it's because
of his phony battle medals. I think the real reason is below. He was
not granted an Honorable Discharge until March 2001, almost 30 years
after his ostensible service term had ended! This is very much out of
the ordinary, and highly suspect.

There are 5 classes of Discharge: Honorable, General, Other Than
Honorable, Bad Conduct, and Dishonorable. My guess is that he was Discharged in the '70s, but not Honorably. He appealed this sometime while Clinton was doing trouser-tricks in the Oval Office. Political pressure was applied, and the Honorable Discharge was then granted. His file is
probably rife with reports of this, submissions and hearings on the
appeal, reports of his "giving aid and comfort" to the enemy, along
with protests that were filed with respect to his alleged valor
under fire.

Could anyone shed more light on this? Why isn't this issue gone after more aggressively?

The 2001 discharge date was due to his filing a DD 215 for corrections to his original DD 214. We have discussed this before and if you do a search, I'm sure you will find some good discussions on it.
