Are you kidding? Never proven wrong? Of course they were -- time and
time again.

What words? The insignificant (and grossly misrepresented) Cambodia
thing? What else?

How about you give me a list of what the SBV"t" were claiming about
Kerry's time in Vietnam, and I'll show you how they were proven wrong.

And that's considering we're talking about events that took place over
35 years ago. The fact that 1-2 guys claimed this or that happened a
certain way doesn't quite the mustard when many more claim something
else.

Purple Hearts? Bronze Star or Silver Star? Something else? Take your
pick.

I look forward to hearing from you.
