>>> What was bogus about them? Have you read the criteria for Purple Hearts? Yes. There are serious questions about whether his first Purple Heart was received under "enemy fire". Furthermore, one of his Purple Hearts was received for a scratch for which the only required treatment was applying Neosporin. This is equivalent to an acquittal on a technicality. Perhaps he managed to make it fit the criteria, but it is clear from the facts that he had to scramble to do so. My intent is less to criticize Kerry's efforts to get out ASAP than I am his willingness to run for president on his service to the exclusion of his Senate record, which he has thus far done.
