Mudville Gazette blog - Kerry's Military Records

John Kerry has posted some of his military records on his web site. johnkerry.com Noticeably missing (dare we say 'AWOL'?) are any medical records - specifically those supporting award of his purple hearts. I ran a separate search for "medical records" and got a link to U.S. sent medically unfit soldiers to Iraq and Affordable Health Care for All Americans but nothing on the sucking scratch wound that helped our boy get home in record time.

There is a copy of the message requesting Kerry be reassigned to a rather cush, high profile stateside billet as an aide, stating a preference for some locale on the Washington-Boston axis. The message appears to be from HQ and states that Kerry is requesting the action. If that's true then he's the only American officer to ever willingly abandon his command in time of war. If his boss "volunteered him" then he's just another guy being relieved for cause, albeit with a bit of lubricant in the form of a high visibility, highly promotable follow on.

Lt Kerry wasn't planning on a Navy career though, so that promotable billet was a waste.

Or a favor to someone.
