I am not attacking a Silver Star winner. I am merely asking for supporting documentation since questions have arisen about his actions for which he received the Silver Star. It is real easy, just post the supporting documents and any reservations about this decoration will be resolved. As long as people refuse to do this, his Silver Star is suspect.

Very serious statements are made here by veterans from the swift boats: "I do not believe John Kerry is fit to be commander in chief of the U.S. armed forces," said retired Rear Adm. Roy Hoffmann, chairman of the organization. "This is not a political issue. It is a matter of honesty." Hoffman said Kerry had recently telephoned him and spent 45 minutes attempting to convince Hoffman of not proceeding with the formation of the organization, which Democrats Tuesday attacked as a shill for Bush. ......................... In a letter to Kerry signed by more than 200 Swift boats veterans, they wrote, "It is our collective judgment that, upon your return from Vietnam, you grossly and knowingly distorted the conduct of the American soldiers, Marines, sailors and airmen of that war (including a betrayal of many of us, without regard for the danger your actions caused us). "Further, we believe that you have withheld and/or distorted material facts as to your own conduct in this war. interestalert.com
