Looks like John Kerry may have invented his war hero status much like Mc.

He served a brief stint in Viet Nam, but was somehow wounded three times in four months and received a slew of medals. My research has indicated that medals are often awarded for silence rather than valor. During his run for presidency, many outspoken veterans questioned his war record. Additionally, he owns an $11.75M estate in Martha’s Vinyard.
