Kerry's Medals - Part Ten Million blackfive blog Roach at Mansized Target got into a verbal tussle with Lawrence Auster over John Kerry's medals (specifically the Purple Hearts). I have written that the Medal Issue is just as lame as the Bush AWOL Issue. Sure, there were warriors who received lesser medals than John Kerry for doing more in combat in Viet Nam. Sure, John Kerry might have received a Purple Heart for a wound that he caused with his own mortors and only required a band-aid. In this regard, I agree with Roach that Kerry's medals are as legit as the regulations permitted them to be... So, under the regs, he qualified for the medals, was awarded the medals, received the medals. ...then through those medals over a fence. That's what the issue is. Not whether he earned them. He through them away and accused every man fighting in Vietnam of committing atrocities. And now he wants to be a hero. Rant/ You know what really gets me angry about all of this medals and ribbons crap. It's the part where people talk about the anguish that was on Kerry's face when he threw the medals or about the anguish that he put himself through when deciding to testify at the Winter Soldier Hearings. Here's what really pisses me off: John Kerry had anguish all right. He should! He abandoned everything that he fought for to get into politics and play the cards that were winning in the 1970s. His anguish is evident to me, but not in the form that you might believe. It's the anguish of someone who just stabbed their best friend in the back. It's the anguish of a guy who just cheated on his wife. It's the anguish of a man who sold his soul and turned traitor (ask the POWs who heard his testimony from a cage in NVA territory what they think about John Kerry). It's the kind of anguish that comes from knowing that you're a bastard and that you'll have to live with that for the rest of your life. /Rant blackfive.net
