New Book Claims Kerry Fabricated Military Record

HeadlineAug 04, 2004

The right-wing book publisher Regnery is preparing to release a new book titled “Unfit for Command” that attempts to discredit John Kerry’s entire military service. The book claims that Kerry received two of his three Purple Hearts based on injuries from self-inflicted wounds, not enemy fire. The book also claims he fabricated war reports and once burned down an abandoned Vietnamese village. The book is co-written by John O’Neill, a veteran who served with Kerry in Vietnam and have been very critical of his candidacy.
