It doesn't matter what the doctor says. He didn't sign the report (SOP I read earlier to have a subordinate sign off of the paperwork), but this is the spin I just heard on Hannity and Colmes about the Swiftie doctor's allegations.

Also, Kerry may have just been confused geographically and only THOUGHT he was in Cambodia. Legitimate mistake, donchaknow.

The Left is spinning really hard. Be interesting to see if the Swifties continue to get press.

Not if he had been told, which is very likely, that there were signs telling warning him of his approach to Cambodia and there were guards blocking the waterway.

You are correct. Letson was the only doctor and J.C. Carreon was a Hospital Corpsman (HN) who worked for Dr. Letson and filled out the treatment form and signed it. Carreon died in 1992. Letson is adamant that he treated Kerry.

Kerry can't have it both ways. In order to qualify for a PH, you mustmeet the following condition:

A wound is defined as an injury to any part of the body from an outside force or agent sustained under one or more of the conditions listed above A physical lesion is not required, however, the wound for which the award is made must have required treatment by a medical officer and records of medical treatment for wounds or injuries received in action must have been made a matter of official record.

There was no casualty report or after action report filed on Kerry's first PH, which he somehow got approved three months from the date of the injury (Dec 2) and after his transfer to another unit.
