He got a purple heart by wounding himself with a grenade playing with it.....that is a ******* lie when you accept an award for a bogus action.
Other Vietnam Vets claim he lied about "war crimes" done in Vietnam.
Hell, just his recent statements the last 10 years about US military troops being stupid people and that troops in Iraq were "terrorizing women and children" makes him a piece of shit not worthy of being SECDEF.
I'm sure you scum have a soft spot for Charles Manson too.
Navy Inspector General report on medals
In September 2004, Vice Admiral Ronald A. Route, the Navy Inspector General, completed a review of Kerry's combat medals, initiated at the request of Judicial Watch. In a memo to the Secretary of the Navy, Gordon England, Route stated:[79]
"Our examination found that existing documentation regarding the Silver Star, Bronze Star and Purple Heart medals indicates the awards approval process was properly followed. In particular, the senior officers who awarded the medals were properly delegated authority to do so. In addition, we found that they correctly followed the procedures in place at the time for approving these awards
Conducting any additional review regarding events that took place over 30 years ago would not be productive. The passage of time would make reconstruction of the facts and circumstances unreliable, and would not allow the information gathered to be considered in the context of the time in which the events took place.
Our review also considered the fact that Senator Kerry's post-active duty activities were public and that military and civilian officials were aware of his actions at the time. For these reasons, I have determined that Senator Kerry's awards were properly approved and will take no further action in this matter.
