If you are unwilling or unable to substantiate this claim then this thread should be pulled immediately.

Unsupported rumor and talk such as this is defamatory and libelous, and it should not be tolerated. I am no fan of John Kerry, but I will not, as a naval veteran myself, stand by quietly and accept such comments from any corner about any individual without the basic challenge of:

Where is your proof?!
Put up or .....

We do not need proof. George Bush was investigated and Kerry stood by. Let him release his records. The man has suggested he committed war crimes. We need more than records, when he testified before congress they should have investigated.

"John Kerry scratched his arm three times in Vietnam and awarded himself three Purple Hearts just so he could get out of the combat zone."

There it is - your "mounting evidence."

All it took for the press to launch investigations and demands regarding Bush's NG service was some statements from political enemies on the internet, or muttered at speeches.

In case you're wondering, I also said my statement out loud, so the "mounting evidence" has reached a critical stage where the American people need to know the truth.

The American People need to know!!!!

I won't doubt this, but ...

I agree, where is the proof?!

Well, I'm a navy veteran of WWII and I demand that French looking French loving so called veteran of the Nam era produce all records pertaining to his so-called injuries that resulted in 3 purple hearts. I for one don't believe they were legitimately earned. Let Kerry prove how valid the awards were.

Never thought of the Fitness Reports angle, love to see'em.

I do think since he opened the military service issue, Kerry should authorize release of his records. Other than that, I really agree with, you, Blue'n'Gold, both sides should put up or shut up on this issue.

I think GWB did an OK job of referencing the record, but he didn't let out any fitness reports either.

Hmmmm... Kerry in Vietnam a total of 4 months 3 purple hearts and two medals.. Who put him in for medals, himself (the only officer on his boat).. ?

Also; 3 purple hearts was the magic number for return to the states.. which happened by the way.. See a pattern here.. that on top of veritable seditious behavior after returning, st the least.. PLUS: hes a democrat now and then, a member of a 5th column documented by so much evidence only liberal/progressive could miss..

Is his innocence possible.?. YES... probable ?.. NO..

** "I would think that if you understood what Communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees, that we would someday become communists." --Jane "Hanoi" Fonda, Michigan State University, 1970 .. John Kerry was in the Audie for moral support.. H.E.L.L.O.

Well, try this on for size.
He has no record of missing a day of duty IN SPITE of 3 Purple Hearts!
How do you do that?
Another part of the "mounting evidence" is no citation has ever been seen in public.
It has all of the earmarks of a recipe for an early exit from duty....3 Purple Hearts and your home.
1) Ran after dead guy who'd already spent his 1 shot RPG, scratched arm on branch....etc.
