3 PH's, a Bronze Star and a Silver Star in 4 months...I don't think even Audie Murphy could have done that. LOL From what I understand it sounds more like the officers were giving each other medals. ROFLMAO

The way I understand it, he recommended himself for and wrote the narrative for each of his "awards."

There have to be surviving crewmen who have first-hand information re: Hanoi John Effing Kerry's bogus "bandaid" purple hearts and Bronze and Silver Stars.

And, he ran out on them to boot!

First rule of leadership -- take care of the troops! When the troops are taken care of, then the "0" (if he is worth a sh!t) can take care of his own needs.

The troops he left behind when he claimed the "three purple heart" rule (bogus rule?) and shagged a$$ out of the combat zone have got to be pi$$ed, still!
