I kinda agree with you, and that's not a bad summary of what the medal controvery is, but IF there's -any- "gotcha" within the medal controversies, it's in the 1st Purple Heart.

The Christmas in Cambodia lie was the opening.

I truely believe that we have got Kerry with the 1st Purple Heart now. He is either lying about being the OinC (because if there was hostile fire he would be able to product the After Action Report), or if he was the OinC because he can't product an After Action Report, there was no hostile fire.

Perhaps in some ways it could turn out to be a gotcha. If some element in the media can pick one provably lie then they can pound him with it. This could be the one. It's really a difficult situation for him. Once the public accepts he lied about it, then his Vietnam record is totally tainted and he has nothing to run on. You can't switch gears this suddenly in a campaign without losing.
