The Silver Star was for 'bravely' rushing a dead body laying behind a hut out of sight of his crew and shooting same dead body.
*chuckle*
Even in his own statement he said that he rushed "around behind the hut to deliver the croup de grease" to the already expired VC.
*snort*
I agree, he belongs roasting long and slow over several million WP and antimaterial incendiary grenades for his words against his former brothers in uniform.
I personally do not consider him a soldier at all or ever.
REAL soldiers do not backstab their bretheren like that with slander.
The only 'badmouthing' a REAL soldier will do is to improve things for the next guy, not denigrate the entire military way of life.
What Kerry did was light years beyond badmouthing.
He deserves charges brought against him for that at least, prison at best.
But that is my opinion as some would say.
(I'm not very forgiving about such things I admit.)

Still searching for the 1985 Giap memoirs and his actual words crediting Kerry with the Communist victory.

No doubt the Kerry machine is buying up that book as well as The New Soldier.
