Another 'Hero' Debunked

Mark Kirk, Congressman from Illinois, is running for Obama's old seat. He has been touting his military background. He did receive several awards but he was not the Navy's Intelligence Officer of the Year in 2000 as he has claimed more than once. His unit was given the award, not him.

That makes two Senate candidates - Blumenthal of Connecticut being the other - who apparently feel that the times call for more militaristic or patriotic leaders.
