Was Kerry told to leave or did he collect the Purple Hearts for the purpose of being entitled to early discharge? Or was it a "you can't quit, you're fired" type of thing?
I would hate to think that Kerry was given a third Purple Heart just to get rid of him.
Kerry was asked to leave - after he put in for a 3rd medal .. I guess that was their chance to get rid of him.
I always wondered why he came home with a chip on his shoulder .. I guess being asked to leave would do it!
