Does John Kerry have to wait until Monday to put in for a Purple Heart?

It ain't the John "Fning" Kerry's swift boat.

The USS JF'nK would have consulted "allies" first.

Get names of the heroic sailors who pulled them out of the water. They are entitled to the Silver Star.

Kennedy's leadership is working closely with the U.S. Navy’s U.S. 5th Fleet in Bahrain to repatriate the Iranian mariners as soon as possible.My suggestion - turn them over to the British, and let the Iranian goverment negotiate with the British sailors that they abused before they finally released them.

Thanks for the story. I always enjoy seeing the Kennedy. I served on her 1968-1970. I hated it then, but now I'm somewhat nostalgic. I was glad I was not on a swift boat at the time, so I admire Kerry for serving. I do not admire anything else about him, however.

Blindfold the lot of 'em. Hold 'em hostage. Maybe a beheading or two.

That's a bone of contention between the Iranis and the Arabs.

Yes it is. And this isn't the first time our navy has referred to it incorrectly.
