Ok, let's follow this:

Kerry says medals and ribbons are interchangeable.

Kerry votes to throw his medals over the fence.

Kerry doesn't have his medals with him, but he has his ribbons with him.

Kerry doesn't go home to get his medals, but he has his ribbons with him.

Kerry throws his ribbons over the fence.

Kerry throws 2 medals from other men over the fence.

Years later, Kerry says he didn't throw his medals over the fence.

Years later (today on GMA) Kerry says ribbons and medals represent the same thing.

Years later (today on GMA) Kerry says he threw ribbons but not his medals but the medals of two other guys over the fence but he is proud of his medals that he didn't throw over the fence because he didn't go home and get his medals then, even though he voted to toss them, but he had his ribbons which represent medals so he threw them, the ribbons, over the fence.

How dare you question his patriotism??????!!!!????

You just made a GREAT point. Kerry claimed that the only reason he didn't throw his medals over the fence was that he didn't have the time to go home to get them. But he DID have time to go home to get his ribbons? Or he just happened to be carrying his ribbons around? Does anyone believe this?

I think you missed one flip (or is it a flop?) After he threw whatever it was over the fence, he told an interviewer he threw his medals over the fence.

All we need now is an explanation why John Lehman (SECNAV 1981-87) signed his Bronze and Silver Star citations at least 12 years after Kerry left Vietnam. The most logical explanation is that Kerry indeed did throw away his medals and sought replacements.
