Kerry's utter contempt for his fellow military veterans should disqualify him, plus his absolute collusion with the enemy.

Expected Kerry Kamp spin
(from another thread where Boorda came up):

"Well, Boorda killed himself because he was wearing
medals not awarded to him. Kerry wore medals actually
awarded to him. That they were obtained through
fraud does not rise to the level of suicide."

"Even notorious committee stonewaller Tom Waldheim Lantos couldn't help suggesting that Livingstone should walk the plank, telling the witness in his most ominous Transylvanian accent that: At least Admiral Boorda had the decency to commit suicide."

There IS NOT and NEVER WAS a DOD authority (regulation) that allowed award of a "V" device over a Silver Star-----It is inherently a valorous award, and the "V" is redundant. The indication on his DD-214 is the fraud. He will NEVER be able to prove the "V" was officially awarded over the Silver.

Be sure to read these:

Its only a matter of time until kerry stands in the sunlight over this one small facet of the medals matters. He will continue to conduct himself shamelessly and despicably until that time.
