Thanks for the link Bill, it's easy to see from this passage why the leftist mainstream media is afraid to address the issues raised by Swiftvets in "Unfit for Command". This is a powerful statement and speaks to the heart of the matter.

To cheat by getting a Purple Heart from a self-inflicted wound would be regarded as befitting the lowest levels of military conduct. To use such a faked award to leave a combat sector early would be lower yet. Finally, to make or use faked awards as the basis for running for president of the United States, while faulting one’s political opponents for not having similar military decorations, would represent unbelievable hypocrisy and the truly bottom rung of human conduct. Anyone engaging in such conduct would be unfit for even the lowest rank in the Navy, to say nothing of the commander in chief.
