Amen. He got a Silver Star for leaving his command post on the boat and going ashore to execute a wounded enemy soldier and returning with said dead soldier's equipment.
In the army, we didn't kill wounded enemy soldiers, we treated them as we would our own.

thanks sir. That story has always disturbed me. I have never been in the military and was unwilling to pass judgement thinking "You have to have been there". But shooting the wounded vietnamese soldier in the back gives one pause. Wish we knew who else was on that boat so we could get their perspective.
