"When the battalion command post came under a heavy enemy rocket and mortar attack, Capt. Cleland, disregarding his own safety, exposed himself to the rocket barrage as he left his covered position to administer first aid to his wounded comrades. He then assisted in moving the injured personnel to covered positions. Continuing to expose himself, Capt. Cleland organized his men into a work party to repair the battalion communications equipment which had been damaged by enemy fire. His gallant action is in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service, and reflects great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.

Wow, well, this is infinitely more respectable a reason for award then chasing a fleeing wounded Viet Cong behind a shed and killing him.

Kerry didn't chase him (the VC) into the hooch. After the twin .50 gunner ripped it to shreds from the swiftboat....Kerry disembarked and decided to bayonet charge what remained of the Viet Cong's corpse.
