He called the swift boaters liars. It would be easy to speculate that some of them went back and did some research on this guy's war record too.
“It would be easy to speculate that some of them went back and did some research on this guy’s war record too.”
First, Sanders did serve honorably and commendably (as did some 2,500,000 of his peers notwithstanding the infamous testimony of one John Forbes Kerry) receiveing both a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star for his service...both of which were deemed legitimate by the same review. For that he deserves our respect and gratitude.
However, the revocation of his Silver Star brings a whole new perspective (or should anyway) to his viscious excoriation of the Swiftvets as dishonorable smear merchants
while, at the same time, he was being touted by the Kerry campaign as a Silver Star awardee whose impeccable honor, integrity and credibility were inviolate.
