1996: Kerry judged false decorations 'very wrong'
Amid questions about one of John Kerry's combat "V" decorations, unearthed remarks by the senator eight years ago reveal he judged an admiral's allegedly false awards as a serious offense that disqualified him from leadership.
After the suicide of Adm. Mike Boorda in 1996, National Review columnist Kate O'Beirne notes Kerry gave his response to two Boston papers. |

I was just reading that myself. Amazing what he said then and how he dodges now;
Quote: | The Herald described Kerry as among the veterans who said although they would take offense at someone falsely wearing the "V" pin, they couldn't see how it would drive Boorda to suicide.
"Is it wrong? Yes, it is very wrong. Sufficient to question his leadership position? The answer is yes, which he clearly understood," Kerry told the Herald. |
Maybe it's only wrong for others. _________________ Clark County Conservative |

This is sickening.
Mike Boorda was a real loss to us all - he loved his sailors. He came up through the ranks from a boot E1 and he never lost his loyalty to his subordinates.
He was much loved and admired and he was literally hounded to DEATH over mistakes made in his awards.
To hear this slimeball poser commenting in this way on Mike Boorda really ticks me off, even after all these years. _________________ ~ Echo Juliet ~

I agree. Kerry is vile. I wouldn't even bother to p*ss on him if he was on fire. |

Aside from the Article in the Chicago Sun Times the MSm is totally ignoring the bogus 'V' for Kerry's Silver Star.
The Sun Times has also broken that John Lehman, the SecNav who's signature appears on Kerry's 3rd and last Silver Star citation, does not remember ever signing such a document, and I agree that if I had been SecNav and a sitting US Senator came to me asked me to sign a new citation for a Silver Star he got awarded back in 1969, I'd remember doing so.
Kerry and his spokespeople are going to look like stuttering morons once these two stories break nationwide.

Not to worry - I'm sure Meehan the Mouth will ensure that the standard Kerry Double Standard is employed. |

Soon he will have to answer about his own false medals and awards - and bigger than that -
He will have to give an account to his false testimony before congress!

I served in a battle group with Adm. Boorda and in my role at Tactical Action Officer on a cruiser - got to observe him and interact with him quite frequently on this particular cruise (my ship was the anti-air warfare ship for the battlegroup - alpha whiskey...if you will). Like many who had met him and served with him - I was shocked when what transpired later occured. He was a good man and a fine officer and someone I would have followed into the fire. Although it was only a short time - I felt honored to serve with such a fine Naval Officer. To see John Kerry criticizing him is just very sad, but not at all unexpected given what I've learned about this modern day JFK and how he operates. _________________

Kerry has always had a double standard. Just ask the people where he lives on Beacon Hill in Boston when he had a fire hydrant moved from in front of his house. Or when asked about owning SUV's and he says I don't own them my family does.
