Sign the 180...release the full records

Kerry could make this all go away if he just signs on the dotted line. Meanwhile, the contradictions just keep growing:

Why are there three -- THREE! -- separate and differently worded citations for Kerry's Silver Star award. On Saturday, former Navy Secretary John Lehman denied that he ever signed that third, generously worded citation, which Kerry has posted on his website.

Why has Kerry claimed that he was awarded a "Combat V" for his Silver Star, when such an award has never been awarded?

Why are there two separate, differently worded citations for Kerry's Bronze Star? Again, with the second officially reworded by Lehman?

Why did Kerry seek a revision in 2001 to the number of campaign stars on his Vietnam service medal? Kerry's website claims Kerry had four, when the Navy says that he deserves only two. These stars are critical, because they indicate the number of military campaigns a soldier served in.

A couple of more questions:

1) Where is the paperwork that is required to update a DD-214. It has a standard procedure and there is a paper trail.

2) Being a LT, Kerry knew that the "V" did not go on the Silver Star. Why did he not have this corrected when he was doing the 2001 correction.
