Actually, I think he was IN the Navy for 2 years, just in Vietnam for 4 months....

WOW! 120 days in Nam and Kerry comes out a Bronzed-Silver Stared 3 purple heart HERO!

Must be a record with privileged connection.

Hail, the Conquering War Criminal Comes!

What Kerry Really Did in Vietnam

"(1) Kerry was in-country less than four months and collected, a Bronze Star, a Silver Star and three purple hearts.

I never heard of anybody with any outfit I worked with (including SEAL One, the Sea Wolves, Riverines and the River Patrol Force) collecting that much hardware so fast, and for such pedestrian actions.

"Something is very fishy."

"(2) Three Purple Hearts but no limp. All injuries so minor that no time lost from duty.

Amazing luck.

Or he was putting himself in for medals every time he bumped his head on the wheel house hatch? Combat on the boats was almost always at close range.

You didn't have minor wounds. At least not often.

Not three times in a row. Then he used the three purple hearts to request a trip home eight months before the end of his tour. Fishy.

Kerry is a POSER! His career was a set-up right from Kennedy's sailboat.

Kerry is Full Of It With His Tough Talk Tonight!

Kerry will ban your ammo and put 40,000 troops on American Street to give you that Save Stalin Feeling.

How many Purple Hearts does that Georgian who introduced him tonight have? Just wondering.

I'll turn in my ammo reluctantly, one round at a time.

One of Kerry's commanding officers turned him down for one of his purple hearts. Others said there had been no combat. It supposedly looked like the kind of wound you'd get if you shot into a rock and got hit by a flying fragment. That CO moved on and Kerry asked the replacement for the purple heart. He got it.

The silver star was "earned" by beaching the swift boat (against regulations) and drilling an unarmed, wounded enemy in the head. The silver star was recommended by the ranking officer, Lt. John F. Kerry, on behalf of himself. It's legal though.
