   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."
