He got those metals by deception in order to get out of nam. When you are

yes,
sir. 3 purple heart in 4 months with no time off, give me a break. Also
one
of his commanders said, "There wasn't even any shooting going on one of
the
times he was injured." The just went under a low hanging branch that
scratched him. What a hero.....

You seem to have trouble with
basic facts.

Kerry was an officer, not an
enlisted man.


That's precisely what was posted, that Kerry was the commissioned officer and
the medic was an enlisted man. And nothing Kerry did in Vietnam or claimed to
have done in Vietnam is in any way connected to or involved with George W.
Bush, whom you may bash to your heart's content, but, such sidestepping in no
way exhonerates or excuses Kerry's behavior or words. And the unanswered
question remains: why hasn't Kerry released ALL of his military records? Is
he hiding something? KM

Military records are subject to Freedom of Information
legislation. Kerry can not suppress his.

Try a google search for Kerry service record
and you will find detailed information on his
service in Vietnam.

In fairness you can also do the same for Bush -

The charge that Kerry used his rank to order a
medic to certify his wound as qualifying
for a Purple Heart comes from the Washington
Times article by Charles Hunt.

It is speculation on Hunt's part. Not factual
journalism - as other journalists have been quick
to point out.
