Separately, Meehan earlier this year showed the Globe a copy of a
medical
report that said Kerry was treated for a shrapnel wound that led to
his
first Purple Heart. Meehan would not allow a copy to be made of the
document.

The medical records would show the treatment received, and provide an
indication
of the severity of the wound. For example, if the treatment was a band
aid, then
the severity would be minimal.

Do you feel that anyone who receives the Purple Heart for a tiny injury
should never mention it?

That would be more appropriate than using it to proclaim oneself a 'war
hero.'

How about this: Any soldier who was in harm's way is a hero. That includes
millions, and excludes Nookular Boy. Simple.

As piloting an F102 could easily be considered "harms way," Bush would qualify
as a hero. Perhaps you meant to say, "Any soldier who was in a combat zone." But
that would include a lot of deserters and cowards.

Tell that to all the reservists. Those in Iraq, Afganistan, or about to go
there.

It was a compliment to the aforementioned soldiers. Did you miss that?

It was a knock on some reservists. Bush was a reservist. He could have
been called up. But end of Vietnam came along, and the military was looking
more at downsizing, than bringing up more people.

1) It wasn't intended as a knock on reservists.
2) Please don't mention Bush in the same discussion as real citizens. Things
will go better that way.

At least Bush served. More than a lot of politco's and union head's sons
did.
