"V" For "Very Suspicious"

Finally, the mainstream media decides to check the records. (hat tip: Cooky)

Also, this is what Senator Kerry opined, when Admiral Jeremy Boorda took his own life after questions about the "V" on his Bronze Star were raised by the media (via Captain's Quarters):

"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. - Boston Herald, May 18, 1996

"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." - Boston Globe, May 18, 1996

Really, Mr. Kerry?
