I've never attacked Kerry's heroism in VN. I think he deserves admiration for his service there. It doesn't matter if his Purple Hearts were for scratches - you don't need to lose a leg to get a Purple Heart. It doesn't matter that he figured out a way to get out after 4 months. I don't blame him for that. Kerry enlisted in the Navy and commanded men in combat and he behaved in a brave manner while doing so.

However, that does not qualify him to be President. And his behavior AFTER VN, in particular his participation with and choosing to act as a spokesman and mouthpiece for the fraudulent "Winter Soldier" propaganda exercise, was dishonorable. I know he was looking to go into politics at the time and he got media exposure which helped him in that effort. Also I find his faked medal throwing episode less than honorable, both from the standpoint of throwing them away and from the standpoint of faking it.
