Kerry's combat heroism was real and is well-documented. In fact, his CO at the time thought about reprimanding him for being TOO courageous. Kerry began the practice of charging INTO enemy fire rather than running away from it. It turned out to be very successful,though very hairy, and one by one the other SWiftboat skippers started doing the same thing, the ones who dared. This made a large positive impact.

The smearvets have lied about every aspect of Kerry's military record, including his most heroic exploit for which he won the Silver Star.

Smearvets knowingly lied when they claimed Kerry killed an "unarmed teenager". The ABC crew that went to the same village and inquired found out what the smearvets already knew, because they had been to the village two and didn't like what they heard so they just lied. ABC found that Kerry has chased down and killed a VC regular age 23 armed with a B-40 rocket-launcher which he was trying to blow up Kerry's boat with. Kerry saved his entire boat on this occasion and rightfully was awarded the Silver Star.

meanwhile not a single major rightwing leader has ever dared steop foot on a battlefield. Bush-Cheney-Delay all dodged the draft using family connections.
