Similiar to the one in 1971, Kerry threw medals.  But it's been 
found out they weren't his.  He still has his.  It's faked.

Now for the reason for this one.  All the ones that stood there 
and gave back medals (notice, anyone can buy those trinkets) that 
weren't even medals.  They are ribbons.  No Purple Hearts and 
above.  They are calling them medals but they are campaign 
medals.  I can purchase them all over the place.

I did promise a reason.  All of these kids are part of the 
Reserve Military Asset.  Guess what, they might be called back up 
if needed.  So they do crap like this.

Actually, I don't believe most of them really were in the 
Military.  It's about as believable as the 1971 one.  But there 
is one thing different.  At least Kerry really DID earn medals 
including Purple Hearts and a Silver.  None of these clowns even 
comes close even to our outcasts from Vietnam like Kerry.

What a bunch of dweebs.
