Question:

Now the Navy itself is going to investigate Kerry’s medals, specifically, the Silver Star with "V" device, of which there is no such thing. That’s why they’re investigating. And the 4 campaign stars, when he only earned 2. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/9/2/120951.shtml From the article: "Kerry’s campaign has repeatedly cited the Navy as the ultimate authority on the candidate’s war record, saying they wouldn’t have awarded him medals he didn’t deserve. But with the Navy now publicly challenging Kerry’s decorations, that defense has been rendered inoperative." Let’s see them spin THIS as a partisan attack. Go ahead, boys: go after the Navy itself. THAT’ll sell during wartime. Freep

Just as interesting was: "It is to your best interest to have your record in good order," General Thomas Wilkerson, the president of the U.S. Naval Institute, told Lipscomb. "If it is wrong, you are accountable. And if you use it to advance your career, it is even more important.
