Noticed on Kerry's web site that there is a DD215 (Correction to DD214) date in 2001...changes Vietnam Service Medal to VietNam Service Medal with 4 bronze stars (?) - was that one for each of the months he was there? And why wasn't the Silver Star citation changed?

I know I'm going to get grief for this, but I have to agree with what Laura Ingraham said today: The battle over Kerry's medals, and what he did or didn't do in Vietnam, is largely a "he-said, she-said" kind of controversy. But what he did when he came back, when he testified about the prevalence of "atrocities" committed by virtually every US soldier in Vietnam, and about how his comments amounted to a knife in the back to every US prisoner of war in North Vietnam, is definitely a "he-said" proposition -- he said it; there is record he said it; he cannot deny it; there is no room for debate.

This, and not the medals, should be the focus of opposition to Kerry. The medals are up to debate. Kerry's backstabbing betrayal of US soldiers and our POWs is not subject to debate, and is more damnable.
