RIGHT ON! I remember that crap. Dole is a damn combat-wounded(permanently!) veteran. Where the hell is Hanoi John's limp? Where's his dead arm!?
What award did Carlos Hathcock recieve when he rescued a fellow soldier from a fire? He was disabled for the rest of his life because of that. The White Feather, feared for his rifle skills, sacrificed them to save someone's life! He couldn't even hold up a rifle in his later years! Kerry seemed able to whip that shotgun around at the phony-baloney "duck hunt, I support the 2nd amendment only if you're a nonoffensive hunter" photo-op!
Anyone remember episode 3 (I think) of Band of Brothers where Popeye (shot in the rear end) asked that unscupulous guy how many Purple Hearts he had? He said three, all for minor technical wounds. Popeye pointed over to Blythe, hit in the neck, and dead years later and said "yeah, and he only gets one." This is the same damn thing. Some shifty bastard stealing glory for himself while real soldiers suffer quietly and stoically. I am just seething about this Francophilic commie bastard. If there's any justice in this world, Kerry had better be exposed.
I remember it, but not that the guy in hospital with three PH's was unscrupulous; Popeye said "You have no shame," but they were laughing about it -- the 3-PH guy actually did have three wounds (one being a boil) and it seemed he couldn't help it that he had them; they set up that scene to point out the discrepancy between types of wounds and medals and how they don't reflect degree of injury. At least the BoB 3 PH guy actually spent time in the hospital.
