Very, very interesting and it parallels things my husband, a Vietnam vet, has said. I agree that things don't add up.

I worked with a guy at Morgan Stanley who had two Silver Stars and two Bronze Stars with all sorts of clusters. Also, a Purple Heart for serious wounds on his last mission. His silvers were earned in two missions just months apart.

Like all true heros he would not talk about how he won his medals. All I know is that he was in the Special Forces and had pictures of his comrades in arms on his wall.

Kerry strikes me as a blowhard who came back from Vietnam too soon and had too much political clout. His medals also seem to me to be pretty "fishy."

Does anybody know wat his family background really is? Does he have any senators or D.C. power players in his family tree?

Same here.
In fact, about a month ago, My VV husband asked me to Google his military service because nothing was adding up.

Absolutely, shows a young, headstrong officer out of control and ignoring his training and pumping his own vainglory at the expense of the effectiveness of the tactical program he was part of and team cohesion. The entire mission was being compromised to feed his ego. When combined with Admiral Zumwalt's comments it makes clear why they were eager to get him out of the war zone.
