I am a retired Ranger and proud of it.I think actions by Mr. Kerry after his service really leave question marks about what really happened and how he recieved those medals.My father told me how the man that saved his life and recieved a Purple Heart was also the same man who almost got him killed.

There's already people questioning his Silver Star since it appears he may have got that by killing a wounded and retreating soldier. While I don't know how one qualifies for these awards...nor do "I" question his service, I think that Kerry has made a mistake by making his Vietnam service so instrumental in his campaign. By doing so, he has "opened the door" for others to question his entire service...both during and after the war. I also think this is one of the reasons why he (and the media) is playing up this hero status: They are attempting to preempt what they know will be coming.

There it is. One moment of high pucker-factor and its a decision you have to live with for the rest of your life.

Mr. Kerrys actions upon his return have shown that he is an opportunist. And a collaborator with those who would destroy America.
