An outstanding book. You were kidding, but I had a friend advise me in all seriousness not to read it. It is simply difficult to imagine the degree to which Americans have been taken for a collective ride by deadbeats, phonies, and John Kerry - but I repeat myself.

This particular guy, though - I wonder if anyone thought to ask him what he was doing in '87 that merited a MOH? Was there a combat operation somewhere in the world of which I was unaware?

I think, though, that here we have a classic case of a pathological liar. That would be a fellow who lies where truth would have served perfectly well. It'll take you a long way in politics.

There must be a few other veterans out there who have three Purple Hearts. Some enterprising journo ought to find out how many others managed to earn three PHs without spending a single day in hospital.
