about those medals... if his medals were rescinded, would he have to physically turn them in, or is it just a matter of paperwork? just wondering if his throwing them away (but actually keeping them safe at home) was planned.

The throwing the medals away was fake from the start. That one guy who was there said that they were handed a bunch a medals from a consignment store or pawn shop to throw over the fence. Remember that some of these guys never truly served in Vietnam, let alone won medals to throw over. Kerry has always kept his medals safe at home on his wall as a prop.
