Matthews seems to have gone into the show thinking these brave soldiers--who were badly injured but NOT due to enemy action--were somehow screwed by the Pentagon or the Bush Administration, but particularly the second man are emphasizing that they understand why their awards were taken back.
While asking Gen. Tainor (sp?) about this subject, Chrissy--who was moaning and going "Oh my God" over the soldiers's stories, as if trying to pump up the segment when he saw the two weren't angry at Donald Rumsfeld or someone--suddenly asks about...JOHN KERRY!
This segment is an embarassment. Chrissy attempted to use brave, wounded soldiers to cause a controversy, and when that didn't work out, her tried to replay the '04 election.

you are sooooooo right Darkwolf.....I saw him do his Camp Pendleton thing......Chrissy being around the military is like a fish sunbathing on the beach.....it's out of it's element and smells pretty bad too........he is just trying to appease them and he comes off looking even more the dork than before.....I'll bet they laugh at him alot after those dumb questions

Sorry, didn't see it.
What was his question about Kerry?
Purple hearts are awarded for combat related injuries. Accidental injuries, as tragic as they may be, should not receive them.
Mine was awarded to me in 1971.
