Judyth Vary Baker: Living in Exile

JUDYTH RESPONDS TO JACK ABOUT LEE'S "DISCHARGE" STATUS

NOTE: Once again, what Judyth has to say is even more accurate and
complete than what Jack White has to say. This reinforces my complete
disillusionment with the "brain trust" of Jack White, John Armstrong, and
David S. Lifton, whom I have naively assumed knew all there is to know
about Lee H. Oswald. What I am discovering is that Judyth knows more
about Lee H. Oswald than the three of them together! That's astounding!

Jack White said,

Reserves, a bit early...]]

Lee Harvey Oswald received an UNDESIRABLE DISCHARGE from the Marines.

Let's clarify this:

I meant that Lee Oswald was not discharged from the Marines. He
was placed in the Marine Reserves with an honorable discharge.
Robert Oswald mentions it himself in the Interview posted. LATER,
after Lee's fake defection, his honorable discharge was changed
to an undesirable discharge.

I here post what Pamela McElwain Brown has written elsewhere:

"....while looking through ce 780, which are the
documents surrounding lee harvey oswald's request
for review of his military status, which was changed
from an honorable discharge (from active duty) to an
undesirable discharge (from the reserves) the logic
used by the dept of the navy began to make some
sense. first, perhaps it is common knowledge, but
was not to me, that lho was still in the marine
reserves when he went to the soviet union. then,
although the dept of the navy claimed he renounced
his citizenship, which he did not formally do, they
also stated that "petitioner brought discredit to
the marine corps through adverse newspaper
publicity". for all of you from military families,
this has to raise a red flag. you just don't go
around embarrassing the marines in a foreign country
and expect to get away with it. when his case was
reviewed, there was no change in the status of his
discharge. he had, by his own actions, closed the
door on his reputation as a marine and his
relationship with them.

Also, the appeal letters were sent to addresses where he no longer
resided.

I did a chronological reorganization of Oswald's entire military record
a few years back, which makes many of these issues a lot clearer than
the original form of the record, though it includes all of the same
information. I gave it to JFK Lancer to make available to researchers at
a modest cost.
