Kerry's C.O. Says First P.H. Was Not Authorized by Him
FOX NEWS ^ | 4/28/2004 | self

John Kerry's commanding officer was just interviewed on Fox News. According to Lt. Commander Grant Hibbard when Kerry showed up in front of him requesting a Purple Heart, Hibbard saw that he had a "scratch"(Hibbard's word) on his forearm. And because, according to Hibbard, there was no report of enemy action on Kerry's patrol that day and the "scratch" did not receive medical attention from a medical officer, Hibbard declined Kerry's request for a Purple Heart.

"And I wonder what NEW/CHANGED information he provided to his NEW CO to get him to APPROVE his 2nd REQUEST for his 1st PH??"

And I wonder if the old CO was fired BECAUSE he didn't give John F'n Kerry a Purple Heart...............?

Enquiring minds seek answers here..............

"The fact is Kerry used the wounded, the dead and the still serving troops as stepping stones for his political ambitions and he wants to use the War on Terror in the same way, hence the Vietnam references. He is despicable."

Kerry, Hillary, et al, are indeed now feverishly pursuing a political strategy based on pointing to American casualites as justification for what would amount to a catastrophic capitulation and premature withdrawal from Iraq. This is a bright, terrible, green light to terrorists to CAUSE American casualities, military or civilian, throughout the world - now and for decades to come. Kerry, Hillary, et al, are ghoulish parasites.

Every death in combat is a Purple Heart award automatically.
