I beg to differ. This is not Nitpicking. A combat V for Valor is a distinctive and notable award on a medal or ribbon.

It is not given out lightly and, if the story is correct, not awarded to silver stars.

Silver Stars are the 3rd or 4th highest precedent medals that can be given. A combat V is unnecessary on a silver star. It would be akin to giving a V to a Medal of Honor winner. The award itself already includes a valor in combat connotation.

This is nitpicking. Furthermore, the citation is approved by a lot of folks above Kerry before it is issued. Whatever Kerry may have done, this "V" is not an issue and you/we/they should drop it.

HERE! HERE!

This only emphasizes the fact that kommiekerry ONLY went to Viet Nam TO GET POLITICAL CREDS HIS MENTOR TEDDY DIDN'T HAVE!!!!! Cold, calculating, manipulation! He may really believe he has a destiny to rule. All the more reason NOT to trust the guy! I saw careerists during my time in the Corps, and found them to be a major drain on the life of the unit. This guy is the KING of all careerists!

Socialism SUCKS!
