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.

Time to put the wine down, buddy.   ;D

Quote
"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"

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

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.
