Except that his failure to take a physical and his suspension from
flight status is undisputed.

His record shows that he fulfilled his obligation (accumulated the necessary
number of points) every year of his term of duty, including the year in
question. He was turning to his political career at that point and chose
not to fly. In fact, he soon after requested an early discharge, which was
granted, to pursue his political ambitions.

His records also show that he failed to show up for his physical, and
he's never said why. The records also show that he was given
preferential treatment by those higher up the food chain.

And before you get your panties in a wad, Kerry also requested an early
discharge for the same reason. It also was granted.

After he was wounded three times, which is why it was granted.
