You just have to be in-country during the campaign. So it appears he is eligible for the 4 stars.

I'm starting to get dizzy with Kerry's dates.
Other resources (The book "Tour of Duty" for one)show Kerry on the Gridley 12/67-6/68. His Gridley orders are unclear when he was to report. And the History of The Gridley show Kerry on it from 6/67-6/68. John Kerry's web site says 6/67 report date.

And I'm sitting here wondering why I'm spending so much time on John F'n Kerry.

"And I'm sitting here wondering why I'm spending so much time on John F'n Kerry."

My sentiments exactly. We can sleuth this to death and unfortunately it means nothing if the media doesn't pick up on it.

We can only hope that someone from the media is willing to pick this issue up and run with it, instead of printing the insipid Kerry Praise Pieces that the New York Times and AP have conjured up. To hear them talk, you would think F'n was the greatest American military member since Audie Murphy.

I got the dates of Kerry's service on the Gridley from his evaluation repors, which re the best source.
