I know I wanted to let this Swiftvet thing go but, the press keeps spinning for Kerry by using official Naval Records. As it turns out, The "Official" Naval Records are not accurate. Anyone who has served knows what a DD-214 form is. It's your official record! Kerry's DD-214 states he earned a Silver Star with a Combat V. A combat V does not go with a Silver Star. Combat V goes with a Bronze Star. Kerry's "Official" record has him earning two Combat V's of which one doesn't exist. Now I'm assuming it's a mistake. As far as I know, Kerry hasn't claimed the two V's. However, hanging one's hat on the "Official" records doesn't mean one is getting accurate information in this case. Doesn't it figure! A complicated mud slinging episode only gets more confusing as the spin keeps coming and the "Official" records can't confirm anything with accuracy. Perhaps the Navy flip-flopped on the awards. (LOL) Sorry, couldn't resist. Here are Kerry's "Official" records. (You'll need to scroll down to the second DD-214 to see his awards.) johnkerry.com dabum
