Medal are awarded by supererior officers based on reports, investigations

he did are all liars as usual.

You are of course again wrong. Only high level awards require
investigations, and yes, there indeed have been plenty of folks who went off
lobbying to get a PH for themselves; besides your buddy Kerry, there was the
fellow CWO my brother served with in Vietnam who broke his toe trying to get
into a bunker during a rocket attack against their base in Danang--unlike
Kerry, however, his attempt was turned down.

I don't recall anyone ever saying kerry awarded himself anything. First off he
didn't have the authority and second all the people questioning his awards and
decorations know this.

It seems art has once again attempted to stir things up. I wonder if he can
find a single verifiable instance where a "neocon" said kerry awarded himself
anything.
