Kerry must explain himself. Why did he hunt down a wounded VC teen and machinegun him in the back?

One of the swift boat vets said yesterday on Hannity that this young man had been firing at Kerry's boat, he had been "shot in the legs" by the boat's gunner, that Kerry then finished him off. Maybe he was running, and maybe he was shot in the back, but he was the ENEMY at that point, and from what little I know of VietNam, this probably was not an egregious act, simply war.

I see much more value in what the swifties are saying about the purple hearts, about the fact that someone over their heads (Ted Kennedy) overruled them, the fact that his commanders wanted him out of there, and the fact that he won't release his records to disprove what they are saying.

If we keep harping on this particular shooting, it's going to backfire on us, IMHO.

The shooting won't play well with the anti-war ultra-libs, though.

Yeah but that ain't Silver Star material by any stretch of the imagination
