"I threw out my medals"

"I didnt throw out my medals I threw out someone elses"

"I didnt want to throw out my medals so I just threw out the ribbons"

"Even though we voted to throw out our medals last night, Gee, today I just didnt have time to get them"

yeah, I was chuckling when I saw that he faked throwing out the medals..lol..then I died laffing when I saw that he threw out someone elses medals.

What a loser.

I mean..dude tries to set himself up as some freaking war hero..then he supposedly throws out his medals...then we find out he FAKED throwing them out......dude is trying to play so many sides of the fence that the fence is looking more like an octagon or something, lol.

Oh well, at least he went over there and got some medals.

[John Prophet]

well I am not really comparing him to anyone else....just commenting on his character. He'd look a little better actually if he didnt try to play up the war hero bit quite as much...it clashes with being a war protester etc

"I gave back, I can't remember, six, seven, eight, nine medals," Kerry said in an interview on a Washington, D.C., news program on WRC-TV called Viewpoints on Nov. 6, 1971, according to a tape obtained by ABCNEWS.
Throughout his presidential campaign, Kerry has denied that he threw away any of his medals during an anti-war protest in April 1971.

Calling it a "phony controversy" instigated by the Republican party, Kerry said on Good Morning America today that he has always accurately said what took place. "I threw my ribbons. I didn't have my medals. It is very simple."

He also said he — and the military — didn't make a distinction between medals and ribbons. "We threw away the symbols of what our country gave us for what we had gone through," he said.

And in an interview with ABCNEWS' Peter Jennings last December, he said it was a "myth."

But Kerry told a much different story on Viewpoints. Asked about the anti-war veterans who threw their medals away, Kerry said "they decided to give them back to their country."

Kerry was asked if he gave back the Bronze Star, Silver Star and three Purple Hearts he was awarded for combat duty as a Navy lieutenant in Vietnam. "Well, and above that, [I] gave back the others," he said.

The statement directly contradicts Kerry's most recent claims on the disputed subject to the Los Angeles Times last Friday. "I never ever implied that I did it, " Kerry told the newspaper, responding to the question of whether he threw away his medals in protest.

"I'm proud of my medals. I always was proud of them," he told Jennings in December, adding that he had only thrown away his "ribbons" and the medals of two other veterans who could not attend the protest.

Liar Liar... pants on fire, he didn't give any of his medals back.

BTW, the "ribbons" he threw, even if they were his own, can be bought at the commisary. A person does not have to earn the accompanying medal to buy the "ribbon"

[ben-the-slacker]

I'm not sure if he really flaunted that and waved his medals in front of everybody. Maybe the media just played with that fact. I'm not sure.

And what was Clinton doing? I believe Kerry stated way back in 1992 that the country should leave Vietnam in the past. Of course that was when Clinton's departing the country came into question...my how the times change.

Clinton this... Clinton that... what a broken record. That people defending Bush so often have to fall back to bashing Clinton says a lot.
