Kerry is not my candidate. But I read the article and the wounded teenager he shot was an enemy soldier running away after firing a missile at an American boat. Not murder in any sense of the word. Kerry's boat was en route to assist another swift boat that had been ambushed when No. 94 was attacked from the bank by a rocket fired by a young Vietnamese guerrilla. Kerry ordered the boat into the bank. "Risk-wise, this was a pretty smart move because, in my judgment, I could take them by surprise and provide a lower profile and overwhelm them," Kerry said. "When you're broadside to the bank, you're a pretty big target." Two crew members ran ashore and fired at the guerrilla, wounding him as Thorson sprung to his post at the boat's rear gun. Kerry said he ran off the boat when the guerrilla got back up and started running away. Kerry chased him for about 20 yards before killing him. "I just know that he had a B-40 rocket and we were at war and he was the enemy," he said.
