I don't see any honest question about Kerry's service record - its all documented. You might not agree with his medals but its all documented how recieved them and where he served.
There are lapses in Bush's service record. Why would I be asking about the documented service record when Bush's is such a mystery? Grounded in 1972, he was supposed to go to Alabama, but it seems he never showed up. He also wasn't placed on active duty for missing the physical, as he should have been. Did he really go AWOL?
