War Hero?

By now we've all heard about the doubts surrounding the first of Candidate Kerry's three Purple Hearts. Well, now the doctor who treated that first wound speaks out.

He literally treated the wound with a Band-Aid. Read for yourself here.

Kerry has always been a keen and calculating political figure (though it sure took him a long time to get out of the sophomoric "I'm going to be president one day and everyone should know" mode). The circumstances surrounding his first Purple Heart point to either a plan to amass the award as quickly as possible (three Hearts gives you the option of leaving the service early, which is what Kerry did) or to a plan to pad his resume for a future run at office, or both.

I hate to be cynical, but I haven't heard much good about the man from those who knew him at Yale, or those who are in the institutions he belonged to while an undergraduate.
