He has outright refused to do that. The only possible reason is there is something in there to hide. If you are gonna run on your military record, back it up.

It's not the only possible reason just the one that some people choose to believe. It's kind of like "Pleading the 5th", there are many reasons one could do it but most people assume the person doing it is guilty and trying to hide it.
Another perfectly plausible possibility is that he's giving the Dems (and Kerry and Clark specifically) something to focus on that he knows can be proved wrong. It's certainly more feasible than the theory that some float about how Osama is stashed away somewhere and will miraculously be "found" just a week or two before the election.
