As Senior Drill Instructor Gunnery Sergeant Hartman once said to Private Pyle as to why Pyle was incapable of successfully negotiating a certain portion of the obstacle course, the Gunny famously queried,
“Oh that’s right, Private Pyle, don’t make any f***ing effort to get to the top of the f***ing obstacle. If God would have wanted you up there He would have miracled your ass up there by now, wouldn’t He?”
I wonder if the Lord performed the same miracle on John Kerry’s medals?
While our British allies consider it proper to wear full-sized medals when wearing a coat and tie, it’s been a long held American tradition that when wearing coat and tie (or even more formal wear), it’s time to break-out the miniature medals, as seen in the photo above.
However, as seen in the tweet below, John Kerry’s supposedly long-lost Vietnam-Era medals have now managed to resurrect themselves just in time for Chuckie’s coronation as the king of the land of socialized medicine and bad teeth.
Here’s @JohnKerry at the coronation on Saturday and whaddaya know? He appears to have found those medals he proudly, flamboyantly threw away in an antiwar protest in 1971. In case you were wondering whether Kerry is still a phony, the answer is yes — yes, he is. pic.twitter.com/AWiD6EkyvQ

As luck would have it, I did find an official US Navy website regarding the wearing of medals while in civilian attire. Please note sub-sections a. and c.;
7. WEARING AWARDS ON CIVILIAN CLOTHES
a. Miniature Medals and Miniature Breast Insignia. You may wear miniature medals and breast insignia on civilian evening dress (white tie) or civilian dinner dress (black tie) in the same manner as for Dinner Dress jackets.
b. Medal of Honor. The Medal of Honor, for which there is no miniature, may be worn with civilian evening dress (white Tie) and civilian dinner dress (black tie) in the same manner as for military uniforms.
c. Miniature Replicas. You may wear miniature replicas of ribbons made in the form of lapel buttons, or ribbons made in rosette form, on the left lapel of civilian clothes except civilian evening dress (white tie) and civilian Dinner dress (black tie).
d. Miniature Distinguished Marksmanship and Pistol Shot Badges. You may wear miniature distinguished marksmanship and pistol shot badges as a lapel pin or as part of a tie clasp on civilian clothing.
e. Honorable Discharge and Service Buttons. You may wear honorable discharge and service buttons on left lapel of civilian clothes except civilian evening dress (white tie).
In all fairness to Kerry, I’ll be he just wanted to fit in with all the other Globalists quasi-worshipping the British throne.
