Newsbreak: Kerry's 1st Purple Heart an unintentional self-inflicted wound

I too had thought the Swift Vets medals criticism would be unresolvable but it looks per these news reports as ifKerry per his own journals had not seen combat until several days AFTER the 1st "wound". What is absolutely disgusting and unfortunately refelective of Kerry's character is that weeks later HE was the one pushing paperwork through the system to get that 1st Purple Heart.
