This also stinks to high heaven.

Lehman was Sec of the Navy during Reagan's Presidency----and John Kerry was by then a powerful Senator.

The only conclusion is that Kerry padded the citation and got some Navy underling to get is signed via autopen.

If that were the case, why didn't Lehman make a stink about this earlier? It's not like it was a recently dropped bombshell.
I think Lehman has been contacted by Washington and he's now attempting to distance himself from it.

If you would take the time to read the two citations, and compare them, you would know that the Lehman-autopen-signed citation contains no padding.

One might wonder if John Lehman even was in office when this was signed.

Wade R. Sanders, Former Assistant Secretary of the Navy under Clinton, is a long time buddy of moi Kerri.

What if someone reactivated Lehman's auto pen during Sanders's time at the Pentagon to approve Kerry's medals?

Actually, I think Lehman was SecNav 1981 to 1987, and Kerry was first elected to the Senate in 1984. Before going to the Senate, he was Michael Dukakis' LtGov 1982 to 1984.

I was talking to someone yesterday who spent 25 years in the Navy. This guy said you could write your own citations and anyone would sign them. How true this is, who knows.
I would only suggest that kerry probably found someone with too much on his desk, no time to check facts and a pen full of ink. john f'n is a fraud!

Bingo. It's all beginning to unravel.

I remember that John Lehman was a real workaholic back then. I doubt he had anything to do with this except to maybe nod yes to some underling without understanding what scheme John Kerry had hatched.
