I haven't read the entire thread yet, but want to pass on a suggestion my husband made. If they stoop so low or feel they have to cover a portion of their own bodies instead of supporting this young man who has spent the last months protection freedom; if they actually investigate or prosecute him it should be a investigation; trial of him AND Kerry who has several times admitted?,bragged? to shooting a young, wounded Viet Cong teenager clad in a loin cloth in the BACK.

And Kerry got a Silver Star for it, IIRC.

I'm no Kerry apologist, but wasn't the VC armed? Did he ever say he shot him in the back himself?

If this insurgent was armed, then that might be an analogous situation, but shouldn't we have disarmed prisoners? I thought this guy who was shot was captured much earlier.

I'm confused. How could the marine claim he thought the guy was armed unless he knew we aren't checking bodies and removing weapons?
