what is this "Form 180" that Kerry apparently "won't sign"

[Bombtrack]

can someone illuminate me about the facts of this charge?

1. A license to fish

Bush won't sign a Form 180, either.

It's a form that authorizes Release of Service Records.

Kerry & Co. should immediately point out Bush's reticence to sign it, too.

4. I would not sign one either

for whomever to wander willy nilly through my eight years of service. But I would be glad to show you my Honorable Discharges (Yes I have two) and my DD214s.

6. Well I have the answer to my question about where

I guess we will never see copies of records exonerating Kerry. The RW blabbermouths have made a HUGE issue out of this. It is not helping Kerry at all. Remember, Kerry has to be twice as forthright and honest as Shrub. I think Kerry should sign the form and set the record straight, unless he has something to hide, and then God help us all.
