Did Kerry's Swift Boat Hatchet Man Fake His Own Silver Star?
American Thinker
August 19, 2011
By Scott Swett
| Quote: | Last August, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus revoked a Silver Star medal formerly held by retired Navy Captain Wade R. Sanders. In a short, vague memorandum to the Chief of Naval Personnel, Mabus cited "subsequently determined facts and evidence surrounding both the incident for which the award was made and the processing of the award itself" as the reason. Such an action by the Navy is virtually without precedent.
There was no press release and no announcement. Eleven months later, a bare-bones report was finally published by the Navy Times. American Thinker picked up the story from WinterSoldier.com, and after Matt Drudge followed suit, it propagated rapidly.....
<snip>
The Navy's decision to suppress the NCIS investigation report is unfortunate. Have other well-connected officials also manipulated a flawed system to enhance their credentials? Wade Sanders held a significant office under the Secretary of the Navy and later played an important role in a Presidential campaign. The public deserves to know what the Navy found out about his Silver Star to take the extraordinary step of revoking it.

Scott,
Another brilliant take down of the slime that once wore the most respected uniform on the face of the Earth.
Thanks, even if it took this long to root it out.

If only they would do such a review with Kerry's "heroism" medals.
That I recall, even his campaign admitted 2 of the Purple hearts were self-inflicted.
Kerry remains the one I'd like to see publicly humiliated over his bogus claims, but will settle for Sanders for now

Les Kinsolving (WND White House correspondent) is, rather curiously, a bit late to this story...

Remember the 2004 Democratic National Convention where Capt. Wade Sanders – one of presidential nominee John Kerry's fellow Swift Boat veterans – introduced Kerry to the convention?
And will you ever forget how Sen. Kerry declared: "I am John Kerry, and I am reporting for duty!"?
Washington's Weekly Standard remembered this, even if most of the old Big Media were unaware of – or unwilling to report – the following undeniable news:
"Sanders was one of the few – perhaps only – fellow Swift Boat vets to defend Kerry's questionable war record publicly. … Sanders also had a stellar military record, having been awarded a Silver Star in 1992."
<snip>
I commend the Weekly Standard for reporting all this U.S. history pertaining to a U.S. senator who ran for our nation's highest office. This exposé is ample grounds for rejoicing that Kerry was defeated – as well as national wishes that he would resign from the Senate.
World Net Daily - cont'd |
Hopefully he (or someone) has FOIA'd the Navy's report. |
