"decorated combat veteran"? Please tell me he is not referring to John "Bandaid" Kerry. Just like his boss, Kerry's spokesperson does not make any sense.
My first thoughts, exactly. The "decorated war hero" line of fantasy has long since been picked over about Kerry and how it is he came to have his "medals." A bandaid-covered scratch on his finger that he nominated himself for a Purple Heart for, for starters. Kerry's a monster.
