"V for valor on the silver star, which is not awarded"
I would agree with you but I went through the separation process and my DD214 was typed up by a civilian clerk who knew little if anything about awards and more particularly their parameters. My clerk wanted to record a "Sea Sevice Deployment" ribbon though my deployments predated the ribbon's establishment. The individual also wanted to record an "E" ribbon though my service on that ship predated the ribbon's establishment. So, unless JFKerry was pumping his separation clerk to include the "V", I credit it to lack of knowledge on the part of the clerk. The clerk's name is on the form and should some want to check they might be able. Best hurry though as I suspect the individual is well into old age. So what do you call a document which contains false information but was produced by appropriate authority?
I call it John Kerry should know better, because he was an officer, an officer that knew the rules well enough to use three dubious Purple Hearts to skip out on his buddies.
Kerry is a traitor. He is a slick traitor.
Er..."wrong"?
