Except the navy has never issued the V on the Silver Star. Maybe it is just a type by some cleark, but the fact still remains that he is claiming a decoration he never earned.
Kerry earned his Silver Star and the Navy verified that and it is only awarded for valor in combat. He has never claimed that the 'combat V' device referred to on his DD214 is part of that award, nor had he ever affixed that device to his Silver Star or its ribbon. You can see clearly in the pictures of him where he is wearing his ribbons, the Silver Star ribbon is present without the V device.

The DOD has come out and said that there are over 100 pages of Kerry's records that have not been released yet the president has signed the 108 form allowing all of his records to be released.
Another NeoCon fiction. Where is the link to that statement by the DOD? Other than one article by the Cybercast News Service, which relied on 'undisclosed sources', what evidence do you have?
The NPRC form SF-180 does not require a servicemembers signature or approval nor does a request by a servicemember use the SF-180. Kerry's records on his campaign site, and others, are far more complete than those provided by Bush.

Since you say that Bush has signed his '108 form' and DD Form 108 is an Application For Retirement Pay Benefits, one must assume that he has some military service time he's not telling us about.

So again, Kerry is lying and the president is not and so are you if keep going on down that path. You should know the truth you just refuse to acknoledge it and yet you seem to take the holier than thou about it.
Opinion is not truth, Fred, and requiring facts to back up claims is not 'holier than thou'.
The president was never awol that is a lie started by Moore in his movie.
The White House has released documents which only cover parts of his term of service. Are you going to provide the documentation to account for his absences and his removal from flight status for missing his medical exam?
The fact remains that the president served all of his required time in the guard. The problem is that by admitting it, you actually have noting to try to hold against him.
No, the problem is that the documentation provided to date does not support your conclusion.
It has been shown time and time again that he has no part in any manipulation about is selection into the guard nor at any time did he ask for any so I wonder why do you continue to state that lie?
Perhaps because Ben Barnes, the former Lt. Governor in Texas and the man who got Bush on the list ahead of hundreds of other applicants says that he did so because a business partner of Bush Sr. asked him to. Think Dad's buddy did so spontaneously?

Why is it that only you can post what you consider fact yet when the rest of us do it, you call it opinion.
When I have posted something that I stated was fact I have provided proof to back it up, when I have posted opinion I have stated it as such and used terms like "I think..." and "I believe...". Perhaps you might try that as well.
I have backed most of my posts up with information supporting them, yet you still call them opinion.
Indeed, often you have done so, but I have just as often provided information contradicting that which you provided or I have asked questions about it, both of which you then proceeded to ignore.
Why is it, that every time I ask about why Kerry has or has not done something, all you can answer with is something about Bush?
Far from it. I have repeatedly answered your questions regarding Kerry and his positions without any mention of Bush. Would that you would return the favor and answer the simple questions I have asked you.
Could it be, that when looked at alone, Kerry is an empty shell? He does not know how to lead, he never has. He has done almost nothing in 20 years in the senate and yet you still only are able to come back with something about the president.
Could it be that, when looked at alone, George W. Bush is a puppet with Karl Rove's hand up his back? He does not know how to lead. He has done almost nothing in 4 years in the White House and yet you still are only able to come back with something about Kerry.
Fred, my posting was an exact response to your posting on Kerry and was meant to serve as an example of posting opinion as fact, something you have raised to an art form. I assumed that you would pick up on that fact, but I was wrong.
You don't want answers Fred, you just want to ask the questions and attack, attack, attack. Whenever I have tried to engage you on subjects of substance or asked you what you would do different, why is it that you have avoided the question or simply started off another attack on Kerry?
I wonder why that is. All you ever post are links to the john john website. Like there is anything there other than pure literature.
Certainly more substance than was available on the Bush/Cheney site, which appears to be more of a personality cult than a political web site. When I am asked questions about Kerry, I prefer to let him speak for himself. When I look for information on Bush, I first look at the pro-Bush sites so I can hear both sides. Would you prefer that I get my info on a candidate only from the anti-candidate sites as you do? No, thanks.
