I just sent a quote of the anterior quote to the Kerry web site
My quote
National Review Online came up with this statement by Kerry, who was asked for a comment about Admiral Boorda's suicide when it was discovered that he had worn a "V" on a Silver Star
Start quote of NRO article
"Is it wrong? Yes, it is very wrong. Sufficient to question his leadership position? The answer is yes, which he clearly understood," said Sen. John Kerry, a Navy combat veteran who served in Vietnam.
and this
"The military is a rigorous culture that places a high premium on battlefield accomplishment," said Sen. John F. Kerry, who received numerous decorations, including a Bronze Star with a "V" pin, as a Navy lieutenant in Vietnam.
"In a sense, there's nothing that says more about your career than when you fought, where you fought and how you fought," Kerry said.
"If you wind up being less than what you're pretending to be, there is a major confrontation with value and self-esteem and your sense of how others view you."
Of Boorda and his apparent violation, Kerry said: "When you are the chief of them all, it has to weigh even more heavily."
End of NRO quote
Kerry is wearing a Silver Star with a combat ´V´.
May Kerry do the right thing if he feels so strongly about it in the case of ADM Boorda.
End of my quote
Flood ´em.
