Kerry spoke the truth and it took courage for him to shine a light on what so many wanted to bury. People need to google the My Lai Massacre.
It takes MORE courage to do it in closed hearing sessions but Kerry did it for PUBLICITY!
He did it for MONEY!
He is the wealthiest SoS today!
He also LIED! To testify this happens FREQUENTLY ALL THE TIME is what the impression he LEFT! AND THAT WAS A LIE!
It totally disgraced the entire military! Why ?
As far as his courage???
Retired Lt. Cmdr. Grant Hibbard tells the Boston Globe that he can still recall Kerry's wound, and that "it resembled a scrape from a fingernail," the paper said.
"I've had thorns from a rose that were worse," Hibbard insists.
Still, the former Navy man remembered that Kerry insisted on receiving a Purple Heart for the wound he said was incurred during a Dec. 3, 1968 skirmish with Viet Cong near Cam Ranh Bay.
"He had a little scratch on his forearm, and he was holding a piece of shrapnel," Hibbard told the Globe.
"People in the office were saying, 'I don't think we got any fire,' and there is a guy holding a little piece of shrapnel in his palm."
Much to Hibbard's chagrin, Kerry persisted in his quest for a war decoration for the scratch.
"I finally said, 'OK, if that's what happened ... do whatever you want,'" Hibbard said.
"After that, I don't know what happened. Obviously, he got it, I don't know how."
