In 1970 and in 1971 as well, John Kerry arranged for and attended unauthorized secret meetings with the Viet Cong and NVA Communists in Paris, France while still a reserve US naval officer in violation of the UCMJ. This is all in the Congressional record under oath by John Kerry himself. For this he received a less than honorable discharge in 1973 when his six year obligation was up. Many suspect it may even have been a dishonorable discharge.  In 1977, then President Jimmy Carter authorized a special Naval Review Board to address former Lt. John Kerry's military discharge and other issues during his commission as a US naval officer. The results of the Naval Review Board were sealed along with John Kerry's entire military record. John Kerry was the only the second man in US history running for president of the United States that did not sign the Form 180 releasing his military records to the public.  The first was John Songbird McCain.  They both get a pass but Trump somehow  doesn't?
