The "Thrice Wounded" rule applied the entire Dept of Navy including the USMC.
The main reasoning (true!) was if you survived getting hit 3 times - the odds of surviving another were extremely thin!
I got out of VN after 11 months on the 3 PH rule. I walked out - but it did take a couple of years to fully recover from all the "minor wounds". None were any that I would "brag" about.
So - I cannot fault Kerry from getting the hell out of that ungrateful country for trying to do the impossible for a home that hated your guts just because you were in the military.
Thank you DNC - johnson - clinton - and the rest of you commie cowards - especially jimmy carter for granting clememncy to the future (then) coward-in-chief.
Kerry still deserves derision for turning socialist/communist - he was NOT against the war - it was HIS side that was causing it.

Did you know that John Kerry had a different opinion when it came to discussing Bill Clinton's Lack of Military service?
"John F. Kerry is trying to make his campaign for the presidency about the Vietnam War. But when Bill Clinton's evasion of the draft became an issue in contrast to war hero Bush 41's in 1992, Kerry rose to the floor of the Senate to deliver a speech. (Full Text). Kerry started out saying, "I am saddened by the fact that Vietnam has yet again been inserted into the campaign..." Republicans or somebody needs to get this to the press. This is dynamite.'"
