The turn to and attack is a Marine Corps tactic. They Navy has no such training and kerry has not the cojones to act like a Marine.
For that matter, it is an insult to the Marine Corps that he usurped one of our tactics to lie and cover up his own stupidity.
I will give Kerry points for getting his butt out there for as long as he did (much more than algore) but he never should have been 'bragging' about it - a sure sign of a lie!
Bandit,
Special Forces were charging into ambushes and teaching the tactic long before when ground forces were deployed in Nam.
