   John Kerry's undesirable discharge.   
      
   "The document is dated February 16, 1978. But Mr. Kerry's   
   military   
   commitment began with his six-year enlistment contract with the   
   Navy   
   on February 18, 1966. His commitment should have terminated in   
   1972.   
      
   It is highly unlikely that either the man who at that time was a   
   Vietnam Veterans Against the War leader, John Kerry, requested or   
   the Navy accepted an additional six year reserve commitment. And   
   the   
   Claytor document indicates proceedings to reverse a less than   
   honorable discharge that took place sometime prior to February   
   1978."   
      
   "There are a number of categories of discharges besides   
   honorable.   
   There are general discharges, medical discharges, bad conduct   
   discharges, as well as other than honorable and dishonorable   
   discharges.   
      
   There is one odd coincidence that gives some weight to   
   the possibility that Mr. Kerry was dishonorably discharged.   
      
   Mr. Kerry has claimed that he lost his medal certificates and   
   that is   
   why he asked that they be reissued. But when a dishonorable   
   discharge   
   is issued, all pay benefits, and allowances, and all medals and   
   honors   
   are revoked as well. And five months after Mr. Kerry joined the   
   U.S.   
   Senate in 1985, on one single day, June 4, all of Mr. Kerry's   
   medals   
   were reissued."
