My view on decos has but one reference point and that is the 5th Marines inside the Hue Citadel during the battle of Tet 68. If I were King for a day I?d give every last one of those raggedy-assed Marines the Navy Cross just for openers. How Kerry?s self-anointed heroism and decos stack up against the Citadel Marines is what is on my mind.
Kerry?s PH appears to be for what we called ?stingers?. Small arms fire of sufficient velocity causes the projectile to virtually disintegrate when it hits armor plate; clang sound for 5/16 armor plate and a thunk sound for the thicker stuff. When the projectile disintegrates there is usually a spray of fine metal frag that feels like a bee sting if?n ya picked up one or so. Jeez, I didn?t know ya got a PH for a stinger, that?s new news.
