Fishy Hardware?

I served in the peacetime Navy, as a submariner on the USS LOS ANGELES (SSN688).  I didn’t earn any hardware (medals), but I did earn some cabbage (ribbons) and qualified to wear the submarine insignia, the Dolphins. I’ve also heard tell that I could get a certificate from the government stating that I served in the Cold War.  But, I digress, what I really want to bring your attention to is this.  FrontPage Magazine has an article posted titled “A Vet Questions John Kerry’s Military Service." The Master Sergeant’s observations are quite direct.  Here’s the statement which fronts the article.

"The following was sent to a Marine chat net by a retired Marine Master Sergeant who was in S-2, 3rd Bn, 1st Marines, Korea in 1954. It calls into serious question John Kerry’s military actions in Vietnam. We present it to give our readers another perspective to the media’s one-sided “war hero” adulation, and to open his actions to the light of public discourse.—The Editors.

Unfortunately, the retired Master Sergeant’s name is not provided, which would give more weight to the statements made in the article following the above.  Be that as it may, is Kerry’s “war hero” persona simply that, a persona?
