Does anyone know about his actions in Vietnam? I know these articles like to toss around the phrase 'combat hero' when covering one of their boys, but what did he really do? All I've heard about his record is that he gave back his medals saying he was ashamed of them but wouldn't admit to it in interviews. I'm curious to know what he did in 'nam if anyone knows.

"...that he gave back his medals saying he was ashamed of them..."

The man's a liar. Way back when, he gave a speech that was represented as impromptu but was actually written by a professional and carefully rehearsed. During this speech, he tossed his "medals" away for dramatic effect. Trouble is, those were not his medals. They were fakes. His actual medals later turned up on the wall of his office. He's as phony as they come.

He actually gave back someone else's medals, not his. It WILL be a campaign issue.
