Which of the interviewers in the Presidential Debates will ask straight out to President Bush - "What do you make of the fact that John Kerry has misled Americans about his military service in Vietnam?"

Plot thickens after checking records

But the official records on Kerry's Web site only add to the confusion. The DD214 form, an official Defense Department document summarizing Kerry's military career posted on johnkerry.com, includes a "Silver Star with combat V."

But according to a U.S. Navy spokesman, "Kerry's record is incorrect. The Navy has never issued a 'combat V' to anyone for a Silver Star."

Naval regulations do not allow for the use of a "combat V" for the Silver Star, the third-highest decoration the Navy awards. None of the other services has ever granted a Silver Star "combat V," either.

It's a shame we can't actually ask to see his medals/ribbons since he threw them away. Or were they someone else's that he threw away. Is anyone sure about anything that this man's ever done?
