Ironically, Kerry got his first Purple Heart when he and another soldier threw hand grenades into a VC rice supply to destroy it.
The rice shot out and his Kerry in the ass. First fraudulent PH. Second one was when he fired an M79 grenade at the VC and hit something so close that the flechette from the premature explosion hit his arm.
Third false PH was the non-happening VC mine explosion that he claimed hit his Swiftboat, causing arm and leg injuries. The boat hit an underwater obstruction, not a mine, or he wouldn’t have been here to lie about it.
If he is nominated for anything, there will be questions asked of him that will expose his treason. He has no idea what is waiting for him.
We have long memories of his treason, and long knives.
Chronologically, this was actually the first "injury". But it was not claimed at the time.
Instead, it became the third claim -- urged by his fellow officers -- which allowed him to gain "three Purple Hearts and out".
This according to the "Swift Boat Vets".
