C'mon, give Gigilo John a break! Sure, he mention his Nam service a lot, but, truth be told, he was extremely modest about the awards and tributes he got from his few weeks there and the months that followed.

The Peoples' Rebpublic of Viet Nam awarded Kerry three Purple Stars of the Peoples' Work, a palm leaf cluster, three Hero of the Peoples' Republic medals (one, first class), and made him a Colonel in the Peoples' Ministry of Propanganda.

Of course, most Americans view his actions after he returned from Nam and finished the yacht races off the Cape to be treason, but the Vietnamese view them as heroism and honor him for his efforts in support of winning the war.

BTW, Kerry's Naval Reserve service after Nam won't stand the level of investigation that Bush's ANG service has. Kerry simply didn't bother showing up for anything. He DD-214 may indicate a problem in this regard. Has anyone actually seen Kerry's DD-214 or are we still accepting was he says is his record to be true?
