It is unlikely that a late poster to this thread, Airto Moreíra, was
aware of the earlier exchange. He "questioned it" to obtain
information, that he then responded to honorably. We are over 700
postings so far.

Your need to vilify someone for not knowing, and upon finding out more
information responding honestly says a great deal about you. Too much
perhaps.

Or had you something you wished to contribute and are just bashful and
a slow starter?

I too apologize publically to Bill for calling his service into
question, (certainly for nothing else though) and will happily post my
own records should he ask, as I invited him to request after posting
his.

I do feel, however, as others, that his records are questionable. He
put "something" up, so obscured as to be laughable. Yet I'll still
honor my promise to him should he make the request. It is a DoD 214
document.

John's honorable response to keep his word, regardless, as long as it
looked like anyone's discharge papers, and Bill's posting of what does
in fact, with NO prior clarifying answers as he was asked, bring
considerable question to my mind of the validity.

I can see though, given that I have some training, military
intelligence operations training in photo interpretation, why he was
reluctant to post clear, easily read, or for that matter any
information.

If you can read the DD214 he posted and can make out the various
details and fill in the blanks as I can (my own DD214 is exactly the
same form, so I know what belongs were, and what certain phrases mean,
and what the missing bits filled in spell out) you'd see my point.

Nevertheless, if that is his DD214, and he did indeed serve honorably
he can assume my apology for doubting he had. He did work at obscuring
it didn't he though. Only he knows the truth at this point...so if he
lied and put up something else from someone else, he has to live with
himself.

Considering his many post's contents, his displayed ignorance of
military matters (his specialty may help explain that...no fault
intended...I was a desk jockey most of my service) along with his
insulting other veterans, brought his credibility into question by his
own creation.

Now if he wishes, just as I promised, I will endeavor to post mine.

It will take a few days, and he certainly took his time, as my old
Visioneer scanner will not work with my XP "upgrade" (isn't that a
laughable term though) and I have considerable ice and snow to drive
through for about 10 miles over mountain roads to my nearest friend
with a scanner and CD burner. If they plow I might get out today. So I
await the request.

So he or for that matter as I previously stated, anyone wishing to see
my discharge papers, with conderably clearer resolution by the way
though five years older than his, need only request it.

Frankly I had forgotten that I have military service I should have been
prouder of. Thanks to John P, Scout, and others, such as PLMerite that
reminded me.

Peace and happy Christmas to you if you are Christian, otherwise, make
the best of it,
