Dittos to all you said. Will someone tell me EXACTLY what Kerry did that justifies the "hero" part of his stint in Vietnam?

I know that he got minor shrapnel wounds, jumped onto a bank, ran behind his cover, and shot a wounded enemy, brought back the enemy's gun, and admitted to killing civilians, including an old man, a woman, and a child. Where is the heroics?

Where are the heroics? I like Ambrose's comments:

In truth, he is a traitor. I am no more impressed by his being a veteran than I am by Lee Harvey Oswald, Jeffrey Dahmer, or Timothy McVeigh's veteran status...
