Usenet Rumor seen on one of the military groups
2004-09-19
First, this article was found in the UseNet group alt.binaries.pictures.military. Keep in mind that UseNet is full of B.S so, one should take this with a grain of salt. I am only posting it as it raises the question of: "Was Kerry protesting before his discharge from the military?". Does anybody know when he was discharged? This rumor has links that claim to show us but I don't know their accuracy.

Why does Kerry refuse to sign a Form 180 releasing his military records?
What is he hiding?

Maybe something to do with Jimmy Carter signing that wide sweeping pardon "for draft dodgers" (for "violations of the Military Selective Service Act alleged to have occurred between August 4, 1964 and March 28, 1973") he signed in 1977 just a year before Kerry got his "honorable discharge" in '78.

This means Kerry was in the reserves during his anti-war activities,even engaging in anti-war protests while in uniform. I know it's illegal to speak out against your own government while on activity duty. What does the law say about the reserves and the "standby reserves"?


Carter's pardon for thousands of individuals in 1977


Kerry's discharged from Naval reserves Feb, 16, 1978


That and other records found here

#1  The question may be did Kerry get an upgrade on his discharge.The other question is was he subject to the UCMJ as an"in-active"reserve officer.
