Stolen Valor, Fraudulent Anyway

“Is it wrong? Yes, it is very wrong. Sufficient to question his leadership position? The answer is yes, which he clearly understood,” so said Senator John Kerry, a Navy combat veteran who, by the way, served in Vietnam. He was speaking about Admiral Boorda, who had just committed suicide over the shame he felt when it was learned that he was wearing a silver star with a combat "V" on it. He had not earned that combat V.

In fact, the Navy has never issued a Silver Star with a combat V to anyone.

So, why does John Kerry wear a Silver Star with a combat V?
