Admit Kerry was in Cambodia near Christmas now? trying to change the subject I see. Yeah, questioning a war hero's medals now, are you? We have been through that one. Kerry would have had to sneak into the pentagon, steal documents from the admiral's desk and footage them for that smearvet claim to be true. The admiral in question is a staunch Bush supporter.

But the official records on Kerry's Web site only add to the confusion. The DD214 form, an official Defense Department document summarizing Kerry's military career posted on johnkerry.com, includes a "Silver Star with combat V." But according to a U.S. Navy spokesman, "Kerry's record is incorrect. The Navy has never issued a 'combat V' to anyone for a Silver Star." Naval regulations do not allow for the use of a "combat V" for the Silver Star, the third-highest decoration the Navy awards. None of the other services has ever granted a Silver Star "combat V," either. Something wrong here. A Silver Star is NEVER issued with a V device. A Silver Star can ONLY be issued for Valor. Army Commendation Medals and Bronze Stars can be issued for "Meritorious Service" (with no V device) or with a V device for Valor.
