Navy Launches Second Kerry Medal Probe
The U.S. Navy has launched a new probe into Sen. John Kerry's Silver
Star citation after the Navy secretary whose signature appears on the
document said he never signed the award.
"It is a total mystery to me," former Navy Secretary John Lehman told
the Chicago Sun-Times in August.
Ask yourself the question: "Does ANYBODY normal really give
a flying -uck about what happened 40+ years ago?" Vietnam is
long gone. If you want proof, just go 2 blocks down the street to
Fong-Voo's Imported Grocery that used to be a cigar store......
It has very little to do with Vietnam. It has very much to do with judging
the character of a man who, by all appearances, went through some back-
channel to get an award after first being flatly denied said award.
Whether it was a military decoration or a skiing trophy, Kerry's character
is reasonably and prudently called into question. Some folks may not care
how much character is lacking in those they look up to. I'm one of the
many who do think that character counts. If he's been deceptive for
personal gain before, there's no reason to think he won't be again.

People who don't earn their medals usually stick themselves trying to
pin them on, and drawing blood, they are entitled to a Purple Heart.
That looks good with all of the other color coded body parts, such as
brown nose, yellow belly, green thumb, red face, black hand, etc.
