As noted, the one person who claims the first wound was self-inflicted has been shown not to have been with Kerry that night. Both men who *were* with him who have testified say it was not self-inflicted--and it was certainly in action against the enemy. The second was self-inflicted but was also in action against the enemy. > However if > he convinced a doctor that he was under fire from the enemy at the time, > that would make it in combat and thus eligible for the medals. The wounds would be eligible for the medals if they were incurred in action against the enemy. As Sparaig has noted, but you don't seem to have absorbed, it doesn't have to be in actual combat. So Kerry didn't have to convince anybody of anything that wasn't true to qualify for the medals.
