You have the story almost right but not quite. He threw his ribbons and some medals given to him by two people - a Vietnam vet and a WWII vet. Check out post number four for the Boston Globe version and post number six for an eyewitness account.

Of course it is your right to be offended, but I am not sure exactly why. They staged a successful media event which help raise awareness and opposition to the Vietnam war. That's what they set out to do and that's what they achieved. Does the fact that Kerry still has his medals diminish that accomplishment in your eyes?
