"Conveniently, Naval rules allowed a soldier wounded three times to return to the United States. After two weeks of receiving his third wound, on March 27, 1969, Kerry’s request to leave duty early was granted."
I think it's sort of obnoxious to call being wounded three times convenient. That article seems to enjoy using the word "slight" in a pejorative way. Having never received any sort of shrapnel or bullet wound, I doubt I would find any such injury "slight." The man has three Purple Hearts, a Silver Star and a Bronze Star (which the article incorrectly lists as a "Bronze Medal"). I'm not unimpressed. The article rolls pretty quickly into liberal-bashing (e.g., "this is why liberals can never get a radio show; lots of pictures is a requirement for spreading liberal propaganda") so I find it a little suspect .
