Gaming the System
All those people who have accused John Kerry of gaming the system by getting 3 quick Purple Hearts and bugging out owe him an apology:
[...Swift Boat officer] Wright and like-minded boat officers took matters into their own hands. “When he got his third Purple Heart, three of us told him to leave. We knew how the system worked and we didn’t want him in Coastal Division 11. Kerry didn’t manipulate the system, we did.”
Glad that's finally cleared up. Sorry, Boston Strangler.
