28. Military Clout
Are you suggesting that Kerry's medals gave him extra pull with the personnel bureau? That's implausible.

There's nothing unusual about military favoritism. It's more plausible that John Kerry pulled strings to get his crew transferred. Despite being a lowly lieutenant, John Kerry had lots of connections inside the Pentagon.

If John Kerry is not the war hero he claims to be, Democrats ought to find this out now. Questions about his military record ought to be answered, not suppressed.
