I call that murder. You're free to call it whatever you'd like. And doing so hardly makes him a hero.
Listen, I hate Kerry, I'm not voting for him, but this is one thing about his past where I'm not really bothered. Putting himself in for a Silver Star over the incident is a bit much. I also never said that he was a "hero" for chasing down a wounded VC. I was under the impression that if someone fired at you, and ran, you could still kill them, in context of a war. Now, if it's proven the kid surrended, and Kerry shot him anyway, that's a different story.
Am I wrong? Someone set me straight if I am, please.
