At least Kerry left CONUS, and was actually in-country.

So it's perfectly okay with you if he made up injuries to earn medals while he was there? That's certainly what it sounds like.

What it sounds like to you, and what I said, are two different things.

I was standing aside and watching Purple Hearts being awarded at my evac hospital in Vietnam numerous times. I never saw 2 or 3 Purple hearts given out for multiple wounds suffered by
casualties. They may have had a chest wound, lost a hand and eye but there was only only medal awarded. Kerry seems to be a major manipulator of military regulations and awards. He appears to be quite a nasty individual that rips up the real wounded with claims of baby killers while he swipes his medals off the table with a wink and nod at his commander. That is very ugly indeed.
