From the John Kerry School of War Heroism
You can get all that stuff at any military outlet store. They should be issued through the military only.
I can't find words for this.
I spent 12 months in Vietnam as a cook at a firebase, and got out of the Army as a Spec 4. No big heroism; I just fed soldiers. I can't understand why someone would do all this.
They say no one is an ex-marine. He may just qualify.
'this guy is in deep trouble'
The guys age will keep him from getting a beating from the young marines. Hopefully he'll steer clear of any Korean war vets for his sake.
"It just sort of snowballed." Yeah, right.
Disgusting

He could still run for President of the United States as a Democrat.
sad.
I'm sure this is the wrong reaction but I laughed out loud at reading this.
Obviously, a dim bulb. But, he need some jail time. Could he be proseuted by the military and do his time on Parris Island brig?
I'm surprised he didn't run for President. Probably would've been more authentic than Wesley Clark...
Our ship was just back from a year on the gun line (off the coast of Viet Nam, 1972) and this young kid came on board. He went on liberty wearing a chest full of medals similar to this story.
Funny thing was that the medals he wore were all from WWII. A couple of the guys saw him with this stuff on his chest.
Trust me, it was the LAST time he did something like that.
I bet he was a democrat! Gore? Kerry? I know! It was Hillary in drag! She always claimed she wanted to be a Marine.
Maybe I'm being cynical, but I've always been slightly suspicious of those guys who hang around Vietnam War memorials wearing boonie hats, parts of fatigue uniforms, and combat boots. Maybe they're the real McCoy, but if they are, it seems as though they're beating it to death. I served for twenty years on active duty, and had my share of good times and bad times, but that's all behind me now. My sole military-related adornment these days is a baseball cap with the insignia of my favorite unit.
My humble opinion is that anyone caught wearing an award or decoration to which he is not entitled should be looking at some serious jail time.
