Thrust, parry. Thrust, parry.

I'm on a Newsmax email list (don't ask :mad: ) and here is the latest attack. (I've been busy today. Sorry if this is a dupe.) I won't be able to look into this until tomorrow at the earliest.

Navy Challenging Kerry's Medals

The United States Navy is challenging the authenticity of Sen. John Kerry's Vietnam War medals,

A Navy spokesman is calling Kerry's Silver Star citation with Combat V "incorrect" as it appears on his campaign Web site, explaining in an interview with Chicago Sun-Times reporter Thomas Lipscomb that the Navy has never issued a Combat V at any time for the Silver Star.

The Navy also is questioning the listing on Kerry’s Web site of four bronze campaign stars for his service in Vietnam. The official naval record credits Kerry with just two Vietnam campaigns.

en garde!

edit: dang, and the wrong forum, too!
