John Kerry's Military RecordsThe PowerPoint version.


First Sen. John Kerry wouldn't shut up about Vietnam. Then one of his former commanding officers raised questions about his first Purple Heart, and Kerry became strangely reluctant to release his Navy records. Then Kerry did release his records, and they were filled with glowing descriptions of his exploits. Or so we're told. The actual documents contain more than 200 pages—go ahead and try to read them all.

To help make sense of Kerry's military records, we've converted a thick folder of letters, citations, and reports into one simple PowerPoint presentation.
