Thanks, Jik. I think Kerry is keeping his service record hidden with good
reason. I too would like to see the medical records for his three purple
heart wounds. It's sounding more and more like Kerry had a commander who
wanted to inflate the perception of his unit by giving medals away.

His record is not hidden. It is quite easy to find. Amongst others:

Just curious, is your interest in belittling the records of all Vietnam
Vets, or just Kerry's?

I'm belittling no one's record. I said I would like to see Kerry's
records. The site you provided does not show his records. I would like
to see the medical records which show the wounds he received made
public.

Like most Vietnam veteran's, I am proud of the service I performed
over there. It did not include firing .50 calibre machine guns at
innocent women and children.

If those "women and children" were armed and/or a threat would they
be "innocent" or civilian combatants.

Not all of those women and children over in 'Nam were "innocent".
