They were just talking about the ribbons/medals thing on Hannity & Colmes, and I think that situation shows a lot about Kerry. Even Colmes said that Kerry tossed his ribbons and someone elses ribbons over the fence.
This is important because ribbons are easily replaceable, medals aren't. It is illegal to sell full-sized US military medals, so if you lose them you have to go through a lot of hassle to get them replaced, and theres no guarantee that you will get them. Ribbons you can get through the mail for about $1 a piece.
Someone who wanted to make a statement but also wanted to keep his medals for future use would definately not toss away his medals... he would toss his ribbons.
Typical Kerry
