Among other things, Kerry burnishes his Vietnam Service medal by adding four bronze service stars to reflect various campaigns. This was done in March 2001!!! Why anyone would go through that effort to make some meaningless changes is beyond me.

The Navy has also said that four campaign stars is also a falsification as Kerry is only entitled to two campaign stars.

The reason a politician would make those changes is to impress the liberal media and the uninformed voter.

When liberal reporters or uninformed voters read, "Silver Star with Combat V" on Kerry's capaign web page they think, "Wow! What a war hero!!"

When informed voters with military experience read, "Silver Star with Combat V" on Kerry's capaign web page they think, "Wait a minute! There is no such award!?!?"

When you don't have diversity of ideals in the media, this is what happens.
Who in the MSM, besides Ollie North, is qualified to write, know, and understand what is being put forth as gospel? Nobody.

Hire more military people on the staff and this type of garbage wouldn't have even propelled Kerry out of the primaries.
