Oh yea Asskisser and Harry you need to look at Kerry's Purple
Hearts
and
how
he got them.. Just a little fact finding mission.or do you have
the
guts
to
look for yourself.

1. Gunshot wound,left arm, in a firefight on river patrol.
2. Shrapnel wound, right arm, bomb near patrol boat.
3. Shrapnel wound, left thigh.

Wow! Those sound like some serious wounds. How long did he spend in
the
hospital for each of his injuries?

You don't consider gunshot and shrapnel wounds serious?

You must have missed the editorial, you too Harry, from an officier that
served with Kerry. The editorial was neutral at best but, the one part
that
was interesting described how Kerry was adamant about getting Purple
Hearts
for any and all injuries.

It's best to gather all the paperwork while one is still on active duty,
for
the Army has a unique way of *forgetting* things after the soldier gets
out.

The way I read it was that Kerry figured out that
if he got three Purple Hearts, for any and all injuries, he could get
sent
home quickly.

You're not suggesting he shot or shrapnelled (is that a word) himself are
you?

Kerry got booboo's, my grandfather got wounded. My grandfather got hit while
commanding a destroyer at Iwo Jima which put him in the hospital for two
years of recovery. My grandfaterh walked with a limp and had limited use of
his right side for the next 40 years of his life.

The fact is, he was injured in combat three times, received three purple
hearts, and with that you find fault?

As I said, Kerry got booboo's.
