It seems to me that the MSM continue the smoke and mirrors routine trying to diminish the homeruns of the SBVT which there are several to date.

For instance the first Purple Heart. All the evidence backs up what the SBVTs are saying:

1. The doctor that treated the wound. The only reason a doctor saw it was Kerry demanded that he treat it because a DOCTOR is required to sign off on a Purple Heart. However, the wound was of such little consequence, although the doctor put the bandaid on, a corpsman signed off on the paperwork. That shows the wound did not qualify. No doctor signature. The Kerry camp let this out when they gave the name of the corpsman erroneously thinking it was a doctor.

2. The commanding officer is asked by Kerry to recommend him for a Purple Heart. Two things: one, a Purple Heart grade wound is self evident not requiring a request and two: the commanding officer denied the request informing Kerry that his information said there was no hostile fire and that the wound didn't qualify anyway.

3. So how did Kerry get the Purple Heart for that incident when the treating physician and his commanding officer denied it?

4. Kerry refuses to release his records for independent analysis. A normal person would rightly conclude there is something there to hide.

With this information, it is clear one of Kerry's medals was obtained under false circumstances just as the SBVTs have said.

If the media wasn't biased, they would be hammering Kerry to release his records. What has he got to hide? If he's telling the truth, the records will reflect this. But then, since he had some of his citations rewritten several times, a thinking person would reason that the official records won't support Kerry which is why he is not releasing them. After all, why did he have the citations rewritten more than once ?

Instead, the MSM don't want to see the records which would be the fast, easy way to resolve the whole controversy but it wouldn't be in Kerry's favor. They throw up every scrape of information or uninvestigated individual that supports or sort of supports Kerry as proof the SBVTs are liars. And participate in smearing the SBVTs. They don't report what the SBVT has proven to be true, they just continue to change the topic to something else.

Thank goodness the SBVTs took out the ads and for alternative news sources.

Those of us on the outside really can't recommend strategy to the SBVTs. They are in the line of fire and will do what they need to do. We will have to trust their choices in getting their message out.

However, what we can do is provide logistic support. Donations, flood the media and Congress with letters/e-mails demanding that Kerry release his records and hammer the various talking heads when they are up there spouting lies about things that have been proven to be true. We can also make sure everyone we know hears all about this situation. For example, putting the SBVTs web address all over the place and alerting relatives and friends. Encourage them to alert others as well.

It's time that the people who serve/served this country have the respect they deserve. It's time to love America again !

He also wrote a letter 9 days after he was supposedly injured and earned the 1st purple heart, saying that they had not yet encountered any enemy fire. He is toast on that one.

I believe he started backpedaling from the first purple heart a couple days ago. It seemed to die down quick though.

Don't forget that if the 1st Purple Heart is not legitimate then Kerry did not qualify for the early rotation home!
