I'm sure this will be the lead item on CBS Evening News tonight... right next to the O'Neill Press Conference.

...Some of his crew confided that they did not receive any fire from shore, but that Kerry had fired a mortar round at close range to some rocks on shore. The crewman thought that the injury was caused by a fragment ricocheting from that mortar round when it struck the rocks.

Priceless!

If this is true, the first Purple Heart was a fraud because the owie was not caused by enemy fire. The owie was a small splinter?

Curad Kerry?

Band-Aid John?

What we have here is an opportunity to really nail a moniker on this guy.

Kerry's story is pure barbra streisand on it's face. If the fragment wound was a superficial as the Doc. says, Kerry himself would have taken it out rather than wait until the next day to have the doctor do it. Think of the last time you got a wooden splinter in your skin.

If this is true, it was Kerry's intent to have this bruise win a Purple Heart and to employ a loophole to escape the danger and his military obligation.

When did Kerry learn about this trick excuse and how did he learn about it? It sure sounds self-inflicted to me!!! Kerry shot himself in the foot and got to bug out!!

LOL indeed! This is even better than the Frank Burns 'shell fragment in the eye' episode.

That seemed to fit the injury which I treated....The wound was covered with a bandaid."

I am without speech....but, not surprise.
