...Did Kerry really serve in Vietnam?...

Yes. And he as given three Purple hearts. One for a scratch the size of a grain of rice.
He put himself in for an least the third one, which was his ticket out of Vietnam.
IIRC, his Swift boat crew mates believe that one is thefor a self inflicted “wound.”

Here’s a real Purple Heart hero.
Corporal Archie Miller of Portsmouth, Ohio was finally ordered home when he received his 5th Purple Heart in 1945. While in battle, under enemy fire, and fighting aggressively unlike John Kerry, Miller was wounded 2 times by sniper fire, 2 times by mortar fire, and was last wounded by a Japanese hand grenade.
His wife said he was too tough to die.
