The Navy medic who treated Sen. John Kerry after he sustained his first battlefield wound in Vietnam said Tuesday that he thought that the injury had been inadvertently self-inflicted - raising new questions about why Kerry sought a Purple Heart after the incident.Contacted by National Review Online, Dr. Louis Letson recalled that Kerry insisted during treatment that he was injured by enemy fire while his swift boat was patrolling the Mekong Delta on Dec. 2, 1968.
However, "some of his crew confided that they did not receive any fire from shore," the Navy doc told NRO.
Meanwhile, Glenn Reynolds notes that"Reminding people of Vietnam hasn't been a good move for Democrats since I could ride without training wheels." And as usual provides a lot of supporting links.
But though Glenn questions Kerry's strategy in touting the issue, I will once again state that if memory serves me, it was Terry McAuliffe that started the ugly ball rolling.
And I just can't imagine why.
