Didn't John Kerry get a few medals?

What battles has he won? What faith does he profess? Tell me about this man who tells our volunteer soldiers to sling their weapons in the middle of a sniper zone.

Kerry's medals were purple hearts of dubious merit. Honore's are far more significant and documented, including a BRONZE STAR. See here for descriptions of some of his more prominent decorations and what it takes to earn them.

He commanded 2nd ID in Korea which is a hardcore unit. Other posts have commented on serving as junior officers under Gen Honore' and they are gungho about him.

The MSM is all over the Bush Admin for everything under the sun on this disaster. Gen. Honore' is being smart to set an example.

Meanwhile you and your one handed computing need to lighten up.
