I think Kerry deserves credit for going to Viet Nam to serve his country when many were not willing to do so... If somebody has been shot in the leg but still has his weapon, he is wounded but still presents a danger to you and your fellow troops... I just don't think there's enough there for us to criticize him about it.

I agree. It's the breathless, exaggerated descriptions of it that are objectionable. But more importantly, commanding a gunboat in the Mekong delta, heroically or not, doesn't make him presidential material, especially when you consider his later actions.
