CA MAU, Vietnam — It could have been 1969 again as Secretary of State John F. Kerry stood on the bow of the small boat chugging up the Bay Hap River on Saturday, the wind billowing his sleeves and his eyes darting left and right toward banks shrouded in dark foliage.
As a young Navy lieutenant, Kerry commanded a Swift boat along this stretch of churning brown waters in the middle of a free-fire zone. Here, he earned a Silver Star for his heroics when he leapt ashore after an ambush to pursue a fleeing Viet Cong with a grenade launcher and shot him dead.

It Is just another page from the democrat hand book.
Yeah.
No such bird exists.
But it is somehow written on Kerry’s supposed dd-214.
Means that his record as shown is fraudulent.
Remember, when he said Nixon sent him into Cambodia at Christmas in 1968? Big lie, as Nixon wasn’t sworn in until January of 1969.
Here is the rebuttal of Kerry’ lie:

Yea right. he really recognizes a guy that tried to Kill him from probably 200 yards away, if he was even really ever under fire. Maybe the HNIC will share his Un Nobel peace prize with him bombing someone every day he has been in office.
“...he earned a Silver Star for his heroics when he leapt ashore after an ambush to pursue a fleeing Viet Cong...”
Kerry MAY have gotten away with writing himself up for a Bronze Star, but not for a Silver Star.
Senator Kerry’s DD Form 214 (a Defense Department form detailing a veteran’s service upon separation from the military) lists his “Silver Star with Combat ‘V’” and is posted on the Internet at JohnKerry.com. The Combat “V” device is never awarded with the nation’s third highest award for heroism.
Journalist Thomas Lipscomb, writing in the Chicago Sun-Times quoted a Navy spokesperson stating: “The Navy has never issued a ‘Combat V’ to anyone for a Silver Star.” Additionally, former Navy Secretary John Lehman was quoted with respect to the Silver Star citation as saying: “It is a total mystery to me. I never saw it. I never signed it. I never approved it. And the additional language it contains was not written by me.”
Furthermore, Senator Kerry’s records also reflect the award of a Vietnam Service Medal with 4 bronze stars. Military experts consulted byJudicial Watchbelieve Kerry’s brief tour of duty inVietnamwould have merited no more than 2 bronze stars on a Vietnam Service Medal. Many Swift Boat Veterans have questioned the circumstances of Kerry’s Purple Heart awards.
“There is something amiss in Senator Kerry’s service records. John Kerry should stop touting an award that has never been awarded to anyone in the U.S. Navy. The U.S. Navy needs to get on the ball and thoroughly scrub John Kerry’s service record by conducting a complete investigation of Kerry’s service,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “And, of course, John Kerry may answer many of these questions by authorizing the release of all his service and medical records,” Fitton added.
It is pretty obviously a completely staged story, yes.
And the left complains about. “fake news”.
Liar. Traitor. Gigolo. Incompetent. Putz.
The only word that comes to mind is...BULLSHIT.
