<Kerry is the only US Military Officer I know with personal experience in walking away from a fight and abandoning his men and command on a battlefield.> I never heard of such a thing either, except with Kerry. Which is another reason the General Discharge seems most likely. No court martial would be required. Those receiving a General were often sent home and the Discharge mailed. In order to dispute the General Discharge a hearing is held that becomes public record- Kerry always hated anything public. So he sits and waits (as advised by Kennedy) until the time is right and Carter takes care of all! Sad, sick too! So easy for Kerry to prove that wrong-- but then there would be records to release.

I suggest you take those questions to John Kerry. Kerry is not the one arguing with my assertion that dropping out of a war based solely on an unfavorable change of administrations is a counter-indicator of patriotism. You are. Kerry's history is irrelevant to how we define patriotism. What is relevant is whether we stand up or stand down when our country is threatened. Making excuses for standing down, even when those excuses are reasonable, doesn't mitigate the threat.
