Now ask yourself this question. If the Navy's own medical records did not support the idea that Kerry was wounded in battle and had therefore earned a Purple Heart, why would the Navy have awarded him a Purple Heart? Three of them, actually. Do you suppose the Navy didn't have access to its own records? As the system has been explained to me, the Navy doesn't check doctor's reports. Putting in for medals is on an honor system - you just have to get an officer to sign off on the report. According to the Swift Vets, Kerry was refused by the first officer he tried, so he found another one to agree.
