Has any news media type tracked this guy's Viet Nam record re 4 months in the zone with 3 Purple Hearts and one Siver Star?

Cripes they spent enough time chasing down Dubya's Air Guard career!

Newsmax has a story about sailors who are ready to call his medals a sham. He basically awarded himself the purple hearts. The sailors aren't sure why he did this because he had no visable sign of injury. If he would just release alllll of the records pertaining to his service in vietnam I am sure this would all go away and he would have nothing to worry about. Yeah right!

Newsmax story-

Several Navy officers who supervised Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry when he commanded a swift boat in Vietnam are preparing to publicly question his war record - including the circumstances under which he was awarded three Purple Hearts - a noted Vietnam War historian revealed this past weekend.

Burkett, whose book, "Stolen Valor," is considered to be the definitive history of of falsified Vietnam War claims, told WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg that Kerry's former commanders would allege that the top Democrat's Purple Hearts were awarded for "self-reported injuries that were virtually nonexistent."

Burkett's book was among the first to expose many of the phony claims made by John Kerry about U.S. war atrocities. In "Stolen Valor" Burkett also revealed that Kerry did not discard his war medals, as he claimed in the 1970s.
