"Admiral Boorda had honor and integrity. He had always believed that the "V" was legitimate. When questions arose, he committed suicide because he loved the Navy too much to risk a scandal."

Didn't it come out much later that he was in fact entitled to the additional "V" decoration....?

Yes, Boorda was entitled to wear the "V". In his suicide letter he stated that he believed it was valid, but he couldn't bear the thought of a scandal.

looks like that MAY have been the case...
If nothing else, the Admiral should have at least stuck around and gotten
a few "second" opinions before deciding how his life story would end...

No. That's what the MSM wants you to believe. Despite the Clinton/Dalton/Zumwalt/Boorda family spin to the contrary, Boorda was not and is still not entitled to wear the Combat V on either the Navy Achievement Medal or Navy Commendation Medal. So says a unanimous vote by the Board for Corrections of the Naval Records in June of 1997. Incidentally, Boorda stopped wearing the V device on both awards in 1995, a year prior to killing himself.
