Now that is an interesting question. It was brought up by Michael Medved on his program today. It seems that JfK's retirement from the Navy was granted much later than otherwise expected and that this might have been due to some problem buried in those records.
Furthermore, we learned today that he wrongfully embellished a silver star medal with a valorous Von his website. We also learned today that a retired admiral says his first purple heart was unmerited. This from one who was on the same boat as he was. These are all things which disgraced Admiral Borda (sp?) to the point where he committed suicide.
You've read, I hope, the FR piece on Kerry's sanctimonious comments on Boorda's medal-decorating . . .
