Well now I'm really confused.

After downloading and reading Kerry's military records I find that his first Purple Heart was awarded for wounds received on 2 December 1968. When I looked at his fitness reports (Officer Efficiency Reports for you grunts) I find that he did not report for duty to the unit until 8 December 1968 (6 days after he was allegedly wounded in action) His reporting period for his first fitness report in Vietnam is 6 december to 13 december 1968 (Where was he from 6 December until he showed up for duty on 8 December? His last fitness report indicates that during the rating period 14 December 1968 to 26 March 1969 he was awarded the BSM/V, SS and 3 PH Medals yet the 1st Purple heart is dated 2 December 1968. Something is very, very fishy here folks.
