Kerry's Vietnam Stories Falling Apart
First, Kerry didn't want to go to Vietnam, but couldn't get a deferment according to Kerry himself in the early 70s. If he were honest, I don't think anyone would care. He seems intent on shooting himself in the foot.
It also looks like the Kerry campaign is backing off claims the first purple heart was from enemy fire. Again, if this pans out, no big deal. But why does his story keep changing? Who cares? The only self-inflicted wounds Kerry has to worry about are needlessly political.
