Kerry spokesman stripped of Silver Star
Thomas Lifson
FTA: "John Kerry was introduced at the 2004 Democratic National Convention by Wade Sanders, a retired Navy Captain and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy who served as a Swift Boat officer in Vietnam.
...
Wade Sanders is now in Federal prison, serving a 37-month sentence for possessing child pornography. Now the Navy Times reports that Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus has revoked Sanders' Silver Star. The highly unusual decision appears unrelated to Sanders' felony conviction. A Navy spokesman cited "subsequently determined facts and evidence surrounding both the incident for which the award was made and the processing of the award itself." John Kerry has to be hoping this doesn't become a trend."
Karma is such a bitch.

This is weird. If he was a pedophile good for jailing him. But you shouldn't strip a medal if it was earned, armies aren't made up of saints. I'm curious as to the whole story here.

FQ, are you totally without reading comprehension ?

It's all in the "processing",.....must still be Bush's fault.

An astounding and strangely satifying liberal respose that is as valid today as it was yesterday. ;D

Good,

Just a guess but maybe a lack of character due to a perverted interest in child porn justified revoking hid decoration.

Right back at you Tom. That was kind of my point. What's "The rest of the story"?

Being guilty of child pornography, a bullet to the base of the skull should be the "rest of the story"........... >:(

Agreed, but it doesn't change what you did on the battlefield back in the day. A child molester, but a brave one I guess? :-\ I suppose my point is that medals awarded for specific acts should only be revoked if they were awarded fraudulently, not because it turns out in retrospect that they were awarded to a rat bastard.

I'm not arguing Peg just curious. What happened or didn't happen? Was there something to the whole Swift Boaters thing? I don't have a dog in this fight, but it does seem a bit odd all the way around.

Well good morning FQ, $1 short and a decade late.
Yes, Kerry faked his Silver Star recommendation.
He got fellow Officers to sign off on it but because he had political influence. But nobody else there at the time was aware of any effective enemy action.
If you paid attention during that campaign you would have noticed that Kerry brought out 2 or 3 brown nosers to back his story, while the Swift Boat organization had 30 or more Veterans saying he was full of crap.

But he had such amazing hair, and hey, he could wind surf. ;D
