What part of Kerry's military record is "unreleased"?
Saw this in the LA Times LTTE page today. Saw a similar statement the other day:

===

...Kerry made his service record a centerpiece at the Democratic convention. By doing so, he also made it fair game for his critics. Kerry could help matters by releasing his entire military record and addressing the issue. The media could help by doing the same intensive investigation that they so vigorously pursued when Bush's military service was questioned by the left....

===

Now I know the "intensive investigation" of Bush's record is bullshit, but what hasn't been released by Kerry? Or is that more bullshit?

1. His military records are all on his site in PDF format
All anybody needs to do is download them.

That's a hell of a lot more than we've seen from Bush!

3. It's a LTTE--may we presume that some LTTE writers
don't know what the hell they're talking about?

6. Well apparently not all his records
Attack dogs are quick to note the records of the doctor that didn't treat him (of Swift Boat for Truth fame) and the other records of willful self-inflict injuries are mysteriously missing. Oh, and the record of self-awarding himself with medals and ribbons has not been disclosed.

<sarcasm and disgust off>

2. It's called projection.
Accuse the other side of precisely what you are doing. A good defense is a great offense....and boy, these guys are truely offensive.

4. The part where he...
avoids patriotically serving in the Alabama National Guard by "conveniently" volunteering to go to Vietman.

7. Since the freeptards are unsatisfied with ANYTHING out of Kerry
Edited on Sat Aug-14-04 12:40 PM by noahmijo
First they demanded service records now it's "ah ha! LIAR! he didn't release his MEDICAL records!!!"

That's what they're demanding now and accusing Kerry of hiding.

Uh * never released his medical records and NO ONE is required to release such private information for any reason.

His service records are sufficient to prove his service credentials.

8. Jack Kelly, a columnist for the Toledo Blade,
Edited on Sat Aug-14-04 01:36 PM by Bullshot
(not the USA Today reporter Jack Kelly who was recently nailed for plagiarism), today had a very similar column. Do you smell some type of coordinated effort here by the Republican party and their media stooges?

Kelly's been a big time stooge for Republicans. He was a Green Beret in the Vietnam War, but he comes across as partisan and ignorant on military matters and working with allies. Most of his columns piss and moan about the "liberal media." He constantly accuses Democrats of politicizing the war. In short, he's a hypocrite.

If you want to royally piss yourself off, here's the web address of the home page of the Toledo Blade: www.toledoblade.com

When you see the home page, look at the menu on the left and click the "columnist" link. Kelly's column is the third or fourth one from the top.

I find it ironic that Kelly, a Vietnam veteran, writes columns for the Blade, which recently won a Pulitzer for its investigative report on the Tiger Force slaughters and abuses by American soldiers on the Vietnamese.
