G and H about handle it, don't they?
Nor his arm wound
Can it be recalled? Wouldn't that be great? LOL!
BTW, What was the reason for his second PH? I'm drawing a blank!
Without three purple hearts, Kerry would not have been allowed to desert his unit after only four months.
IN ANOTHER WORDS, *KERRY WENT AWOL*!!!!
SCREAM IT FROM THE ROOF-TOPS! KERRY WENT AWOL!!!
I think he wiped himself too hard after taking a crap, causing a contusion of the rectum.
:-)
Were these the exact same regs at the time of Kerry's awarding? I'm only asking because you know some dem will say they weren't, whether it's the truth or not.
Can somebody post the pic of Algore that we see on FR from time to time. You know? The one where he is totally mishandling the AR 15/M16.
I am pretty sure he would have fallen under H
Wouldn't that have given him a bloody nose instead?
Actually, that can be done by just using the toilet paper at Benning.
Regardless.....no purple heart.

He did go AWOL when he went to Paris to talk to the NVA. He was still in the Navy Reserve.
This eliminates two of them.
Hell, maybe all three!
It does not matter cuz the military official records that Kerry wrote say he deserved them and then some! LOL!
Rassman now states publicly Washington Post Kerry got rice/shrapnel in his ass when he & Kerry fragged a rice bin with some grenades, then Kerry did not get out of the way in time when they went bang. The spot report on Kerry's site says it was a village of women, children & old men. (note: no mention of enemy combatants) spot report for village makes no reference to Kerry's rice/shrapnel in the butt as now per Rassman.
But later on that same day of the mine incident under PCF-3, in the spot report, Kerry turns in a report he got shrapnel in his left buttock due to enemy action. (see the WIA report in first link)
Spot WIA report said: Kerry had shrapnel (RICE?) in his left buttock & a very minor contusion on his forearm. Note Rassman has already said publicly in the WAPO article, that earlier in the day Kerry had self inflicted the rice/shrapnel in the ass, but later he & Kerry turns all this into a purple heart heroic action at some point in the future
Rassman's public account now of saying Kerry was all bloody and severely wounded while pulling him out of the water is now starting to smell most foul. (I mean come on, rice in his ass and a minor contusion to the forearm?)
Now Here is the Mar. 13th, 1969 casualty report for one of Kerry's purple hearts.
Kerry's March 13th 1969 purple heart
(see page 2 of pdf) This is where Kerry stated he received shrapnel wounds in his left buttock from hostile fire on that day, when Rassman has now said the wounds were self inflicted.
Oh yeah, here is a kicker. Kerry said before the senate that, destroying food stocks of civilian non-combatants was a war crime. Yet, we have the spot report & Rassman saying this is exactly what he & the Kerry did that day of 13th March, 1969, in a village consisting of nothing but, civilian women, children, and old men, but no combatants.
So, by Kerry's own standards, he is a self admitted war criminal.
