Interesting read. Unfortunately, questioning Kerry's Silver Star is probably not a profitable enterprise. He can stand on it and the questioners will not look good.

The same difficulty arose with John McCain's behavior as a POW. Some Vietnam Vets have said that McCain's behavior while a POW was questionable. But that's the kind of charge that will never make anyone popular.

Kerry ran around behind a hut and shot a wounded man. Was that heroic? I suppose it depends on how badly he was wounded and whether he was still capable of firing his rocket launcher. Who knows?

McCain's pilot ability was also questioned. I believe I read that he was reponsible for losing no less than 3 F104's, or whatever he was flying. I forget. But he ditched them and chuted out to safety except for the third time - when he was captured.
