Not one Swifty was present when the Kerry's Silver Star action took place so how can they criticize his conduct.

Let us talk about Bob Dole's dishonesty also for a second. Today Bob Dole suggested that one or more of John Kerry's Purple Hearts may have been fraudulent in some way because they were for "superficial wounds." Dole knows better. In a 1988 campaign-trail autobiography, here's how Dole described the incident that earned him his first Purple Heart: "As we approached the enemy, there was a brief exchange of gunfire. I took a grenade in hand, pulled the pin, and tossed it in the direction of the farmhouse. It wasn't a very good pitch (remember, I was used to catching passes, not throwing them). In the darkness, the grenade must have struck a tree and bounced off. It exploded nearby, sending a sliver of metal into my leg--the sort of injury the Army patched up with Mercurochrome and a Purple Heart." dailykos.com PS: Bob Dole is a courageous individual of the greatest generation who made sacrifice. He is belittling his own service to the country by impugning Kerry's wounds.
