No Record of Bush Military Claim: Media Feeding Frenzy Starting Again

From Insight on the News, dated Apr. 27:

.... There are no written records of Kerry's magical first Purple Heart on file at the Naval Historical Center in Washington, the nation's primary repository for such documentation. A Purple Heart normally is not requested but is awarded de facto for a wound inflicted by the enemy — a wound serious enough to require medical attention. The Naval Historical Center keeps all documents connected to such awards to U.S. Navy and Marine personnel. These typewritten "casualty cards" list the date, location and prognosis of the wound for which the Purple Heart is given, and they are produced by the medical facility that provides treatment for the combat wound at the hands of the enemy. There are two such cards for Kerry — for his slight wounds on Feb. 20 and March 13, 1969, but none for his December 1968 claim....

Oops. Sorry. That should have been No Record of Kerry military claim: Media will go nowhere near it.

Partisan hypocrites.
