If You Thought Vietnam Couldn't Get Any Worse...

...John Kerry is proving it can. And apparently, it is more of a quagmire for him than any war George W. Bush may have ordered. Now some real investigative reporters are probing John Kerry's record and finding out that even simple claims made by him and by his official website are just plain wrong.

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.

You know, it the campaign had let this thing quietly die, we'd all be talking more about the olympics right now. But instead, they keep arguing back and fanning the flames. Didn't his mommy ever teach him that shouting at a bully is the surest way to egg him on?
