Didn't some Navy officer, Admiral, I think, commit suicide over something like this a few years ago? Not to worry, though; no need to put Kerry on suicide watch. He has no shame.

Yes, Admiral Boorda. For -wearing- a medal with a combat "V" that others had said was unearned. I suspect Admiral Boorda had more going on his life, but the impending press scrutiny "pushed him over the edge."

The press, who hounded Boorda, will...I say will give Kerry a pass. If you do not think so consider this. How would the MSM be covering a similar Bush scandal?

Two medals - Navy Achievement Medal and Navy Commendation Medal. Despite the Clinton/Dalton/Zumwalt/Boorda family spin to the contrary, Boorda was not and is still not authorized the Combat V on either medal.
