He told me that John Kerry had rescinded one of the purple hearts. This means that he only was officially awarded two of them, which weren't enough to permit him to come home early from Vietnam, and therefore he was AWOL. ..or at least in breach of his service comittment due to falsification.

Boy, I hope you're right. There goes the "Bush was AWOL" argument out the window! LOL.

Oh yes! ...and I didn't even think of that! :-)
