Seems that back when Adm Boorda COMMITTED SUICIDE over allegations he added 'combat V' devices to medals inappropriately Kerry remarked that:
Quote:
"In a sense, there's nothing that says more about your career than when you fought, where you fought and how you fought," Kerry told the Boston Herald.
"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."
...
"Is it wrong? Yes, it is very wrong. Sufficient to question his leadership position? The answer is yes, which he clearly understood," Kerry told the Herald.
Now that the Navy is offically looking into Kerry's apparently identical fauz pas, we can only wonder if Kerry will acknowledge that, in the words of the backhanded fitness report declaration, Kerry is "unable to rise up his to his own low standards".
This is rapidly becoming the Chernobyl of Presidential Campaigns...
