accepting two Purple Hearts under false pretenses ... that's a fact
Sorry, Krusty, but it's not.

Kerry has had to admit (after 'Unfit for Command' was published) that two of the wounds he received a Purple Hearts for were:

not from a wound from enemy fire, but from self-inflicted 'rice shrapnel' from throwing his own grenade in a pile of rice.

The other 'self -inflicted' wound came from a grenade he threw to close to his own boat.

He took these two Purple hearts knowing that they were being granted under false pretenses so he could get the 3 and out and go home and work with Hanoi Jane Fonda and the VVAW to help ensure a communist victory in SE Asia.
