Kerry spokesman stripped of Silver Star

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.

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

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

To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

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.
