Nor am I.
What I'm saying is that Kerry deliberately got HIS OWN medal citations (the paper citation that officially describes the action!) NOT the physical piece of ribbon and bronze!changed and upgraded.
I don't care WHAT he did with his medals, regardless whether he threw over the fence for fame, or fenced them for cash! This has nothing to do with the bribbons and metal.
What he DID DO was to work VERY HARD and use his congressional influence to distract and disturb VERY high ranking Naval officials to merely REWRITE history decades after the fact. Further, he did this same thing under several different administrations, to rewrite his own citations - while WITHHOLDING those same citations and medical records from the public!
He DISPLAYED the physical medals in his Senate office, but DID NOT display the citations that were being rewritten.
It's like you commissioned Rembrandt to repaint your driver's license photo, then refused to show it to the cop when stopped for a traffic ticket. Why change a very old OFFICIAL navy record that nobody is questioning whetehr you earned it, and nobody cares about anyway?
