How will it end?

The controversy of John Kerry's medals earned in Vietnam continues.

First from the New York Post saying Kerry received his first purple heart when he should not have and is not flattering.

The second is from The Boston Globe where one of the veterans who originally claimed Kerry lied about his medals is retracting some if not all of his claims.

I would rather give Kerry the benefit of the doubt and say he got his medals and leave it at that. Who cares. What has he done since he got back? After all, if serving in Vietnam and getting medals is the only reason Kerry can think of why he should be president, then there are literally hundreds of thousands of other Vietnam Vets who qualify and should be on the ballot. I'd rather look at what he has done since then. After all, the Democratic Party said in 92 and 96 it wasn't necessary to serve in the military to be a good President.
