Kerry has always been on the offensive concerning his Vietnam record, probably to deter any real scrutiny. After all he is a decorated war hero and you are not. He is angry because he has a lot to hide. People are starting to examine his service records and antiwar activities much more closely than they did in Massachusetts. Unfortunately for Kerry, GWB has already weathered the National Guard storm and disclosed all of his records. Now Kerry must start answering some questions including why he bugged out after only a little more than 4 months in country.
On that note, Brit just had a military guest explain the medals/ribbons issue to the audience.
I found it interesting when at the end Brit specifically had him explain how one earns a purple heart. I think they might be looking into Kerry earning his 3 in short order...that is the impression I got.
