Sorry to hear about ANYONE deceptively receiving Combat Decorations or The CIBs not earned in battle,...and that no doubt many in Vietnam (whether officers or not) did so. It demeans and insults all such received and HONESTLY EARNED IN BATTLE. Same goes for Purple Hearts received for: "A BandAid covered scratch (Kerry's Doctor's words).

Granted, Battlefield Decorations and Purple Hearts shouldn't usually be politicized, much like ones Peaceful War Protestor Years in general shouldn't be politicized. However, and since Kerry both insults Battlefied Decorations and while protesting also insulted everyone ever serving in Vietnam before The U.S. Congress,...I personally believe that such nowadays, is as political-as-it-gets.

Plus, don't The People have the right knowing the TRUE character, integrity and believability of whom voting for (or not), and not just take The DNC's word that Kerry has such important traits (or not)?
I certainly think voters have a Right to Know.
