It seems to me that, in general, people are always able to correct the record

The changes as I read them are:

1. In the first change the heroic actions of the Army soldier who led the assault ashore, initially falsely attributed to Kerry, yet quoted on the initial Kerry SS citation were deleted from Kerry's citation.

Kerry's SS then appeared very weak...so we got

2. The third citation that embellishes Kerry with heroic words...but only generic words...words not related to the combat action.

This was not a correction. IMO the first change hid a lie. The second change beefed up the words to make it sound like heroism again.
