I think it is fairly well established that the first PH came from a wound in the ass Kerry received from his own grenade, after Kerry used it to destroy VC rice stores during a combat mission . (he and a buddy were headed away from the explosion -- not fast enough). So yes, that is self-inflicted.
It was my understanding that the Navy deemed that this wound qualified because of the nature of the mission, even though they weren't taking fire. Do you have some evidence that Kerry lied to get the decoration?

If I understand it correctly, the new allegation is that he wasn't under fire when he got hit. As I believe that is required for the PH, there is suspicion that he did, and this was contradicted in his diaries.
