"Kerry disrespected the chain of command by not following proper procedure."

This spoiled brat of a man has been disrespecting the chain of command for years.

Who knows how much pain and suffering he has caused his fellow vets over the last 30 years, since he publicly called them 'war criminals'?

He should apologize publicly, though we all know he doesn't have enough character to do that!

I think yours is the material point: Kerry may be skating a little on this issue. Deflecting questions about the medals leaves no time to focus attentions on his VVAW actions and activities.

We need to see more photos and coverage of those actions. We need to see him forced to explain what he did in Paris meeting with the North Vietnamese reps, etc.
