Medal Performance

John Kerry's undying heroics. Also: McCain as Dewey. America's beverage. Our new 51st state. Plus more.

(Page 2 of 13)

I've got the DD214 to back up my status. My opinions are derived from knowing real men who did real heroic acts, brave men who fought and protected their fellow sailors, honorable men who were proud to be American, to be sailors, to help the Vietnamese fight for democracy.

p>Kerry is a coward, in more ways than one. Medical record release... how simple an act to provide facts from which truths may be presented, or discovered. Phony. br> -- RP br> Albuquerque, New Mexico /p>

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't we still awaiting the full release of Sen. John Kerry's military records -- you know, the records he said a few years ago would be released with a few months?

p>Again, if there is one defining characteristic of today's liberals it is their propensity to lie. br> -- Peter Skurkiss br> Stow, Ohio /p>

The thing I noticed about Kerry's Purple Hearts was the order in which he received them.

For the three events for which Kerry claimed, he received a Purple Heart for the second event first, the third event second and the first event last. I looked at the documents Kerry had posted during the Presidential campaign, and the only substantiation of it was an admin memo saying, in effect, "give it to him."

To me, it looks like that Kerry realized, now that he had his ticket punch, he could get an early out if he could talk somebody into giving him a third Purple Heart for that earliest event.
