I think it's correct to say that reports made immediately after the fact are universally accepted to be more credible than recollections many years later. That's simply beyond dispute.

Generally true, with the caveat that a report made immediately after the fact by a person known to embellish, or actually to falsify reports, are suspect.

I, for one, would be interested in knowing who wrote up the after-action report of the incident that resulted in Kerry's being awarded the Bronze Star.

Did Kerry have a hand in it's authorship? If not, was he a primary source of information to the person writing the report?
