   None of what you wrote in any way addresses the topic.  The record   
   *is* clear; John Kerry was honorably discharged from the United States   
   Navy and the medals he displays were all awarded legally.  Some people   
   don't think he deserved them.   
      
   On December 17, 1967, my brother was flying a Thud over (what was   
   then) North Vietnam when an anti-aircraft gunner got lucky.  He was   
   able to limp back to DaNang and punch out over the bay; however, he   
   was killed on ejection from the crippled aircraft.  He was awarded the   
   Silver Star; however, all he did was to die in combat.  I mean, he was   
   just doing his job of strapping on a Thud every day... how is that   
   heroic?  So, would you say that he doesn't deserve the Silver Star?
