Thread Name: BS: Kerry's War Medal Controversy
Subject: RE: BS: Kerry's War Medal Controversy
The only exposure Kerry has is that his Viet Nam commander has said that Kerry's first wound didn't deserve a Purple Heart. A little late to mention that, frankly and it wouldn't matter except for one thing. With all Kerry's military records that have been made available in the last couple of weeks, I've noticed one thing is missing. The medical report on that first wound.

I hope Kerry's campaign isn't intentionally holding it back. Even if the wound was trivial, Kerry's not responsible for awarding the medal. Someone else made that decision, I don't see how you hold anyone but the Navy responsible for that.

Besides, it was a hell of a long time ago and it's time to move on.
