I agree with a lot of what you posted. I really and truly admire Kerry (and all others) that volunteered to go to war. That is balls and he deserves our respect for that.
I do not see Swiftvets gate as denigrading that service. Medals or not, the dude was injured in service to the country. Period, but not end of story.
Just like the fact that he volunteered and served (as far as I can tell) admirably shows us attributes of his character, so does his actions (a) in allegedly working the system and fluffing the record to get the medals (if true), and (b) in the hippy movement when he got back.
