Unmitigated gall? To question somebody who wants to be the President? Hardly. You're exposing your hero's weaknesses.

I didn't second guess anybody. Lots of people have asked questions and raised doubts about what happened that day.
If he wants to the President, he's going to have to answer. We can't afford to put a Lt. Calley in the White House.

Was it courage, or just another My Lai - type murder? I don't know. He already admitted that they gunned down an old man with a water buffalo at the beginning of the battle, which has gone largely unnoticed. His record is one of complaining about the exact things that he participated in -- after the fact, of course.

Frankly, I think Kerry cracked and went out looking for blood that day. It was too easy to chase down and murder an unarmed, fleeing, wounded Viet Cong, with no witnesses other than his crew, who might remain loyal and not expose the truth.

No wonder he's so anxious to make amends with the Vietnamese. (N.B. I favor normalization of relations with Vietnam, but for different reasons.)
