First, the number of medals Kerry won is eight:
Medals awarded by defunct foreign goverments don't count.
Unit citations are won by the unit. Kerry didn't 'win' it.
So, subtracting 10, 11, and 13 (foreign governments that no loger exist) and 4 and 5 (unit citations) the answer is:
Eight.
Huh?!? That's absurd. Not to mention an insult to the millions of service personnel who were awarded medals by that now 'defunct foreign government' and to the families of approx 58,000 DEAD Americans.
Also, that government might not now be 'defunct' if the RATS in congress didn't cut off all funding to the Republic of South Vietnam.
