The NYP is mistaken. The wounds were real, but at least
two were accidentally self-inflicted and did not qualify
for a Purple Heart.
O'Neill invited Kerry to sue for libel back when UFC
went on sale. Assuming this story is true, why is
Kerry doing it now? O'Neill will almost certainly not
settle, and a trial will force Kerry to answer many
crucial questions he dodged during the campaign.
It would be soooo great for it to become public knowledge the dreadful mistake the MSM tried to mislead the nation into making. It would furhter alienate the MSM from the public as a source of honest reporting, particularly with regard to their political bias.
Well, I disagree here. It all depends on your definition of the word "fake". To the extent that they were represented as wounds received as a result of contact with the enemy, yes, the qualifications for those medals were faked.
I never thought being Clintonian would ever be useful!
