Did Kerry Discard Vietnam Medals? - ABC News
I pretty much threw away all of my military trinkets too. Kept a few things, but that's about it.

Kerry earned his awards, and its his damn right to place whatever value on them that he wants. That's not your business. What medals did you ever earn in combat?

Oh yea...NONE! You chickenhawk types should button up your lips, or go fight.

Earn your own medals before you cast aspersions on his service.

It's simple...he's a hero. Before and AFTER the war. His detractors are sissies that have never thrown a cherry in a fruitfight....let alone seen any combat.

Oh yea...BTW, he's gonna be our next SecOfState. Deal with it.

Kerry did not have authorization of the American government thus treason

If I was running for president or nominated to be SS then it would certainly be your concern. I am an American citizen it is my right to object .

Hah, that's a good laugh. He can go over there all he wants. He can go to North Korea, he can go to Cuba. I do not care who goes to what country in the slightest.
