Hey, John Kerry got his medals! /s
‘Kerry/Mr.Ed’
It’s nothing new. Lyndon B. Johnson was a naval reserve lt. Commander and flew as an ‘observer’ on a bomber. ‘Dug-out’ Doug awarded him a Silver Star and Lyndon got a lot of mileage out of holding it up at campaign stops back in Texas.
Some wag called it “possibly the least deserved but most appreciated medal ever awarded”.
This was before Kerry and we know he didn’t appreciate his medals.
Not to take away from legitimately awarded medals, but Democrats always seem to find a way to screw whatever pooch is involved.
