Perhaps a reason for him to "try" and get awarded a purple heart was because after three, you could request a transfer away from combat. Bingo! This has been part of what the swift boat veterans have been saying all along. But it goes a little deeper than that. As I recall they also said he volunteered to be a Swift boat commander and used to tell everybody that he was going to be the next JFK from Massachusetts (PT 109 et al) and everybody should stick by him. Obviously he was building his political career on this move, movie cameras, reenacting battle scenes etc. Two quickie Purple Hearts would insure that if a more serious one came later he could get out quickly and it would also look good on a political resume. As soon as the third came, he got his ticket home. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' YAHOO!
