Kenny, Firing in a free zone, is against the normal rules of war, and either in the Senate, or elsewhere, he has said that women, and children, were killed. He could only know this, if he was there. There is a report, which he has not denied, that he chased a wounded Viet Kong, and shot him down as he ran. That would mean, shooting him in the back.

Kerry himself erroneously labeled it an atrocity and a violation of the Geneva Convention. It is certainly not. So either he was ignorant of what was acceptable and what was not, and did what he thought might be wrong anyway, or he did know it was acceptable and attempted to mislead Congress, either way his behavior is disturbing. If you define "atrocities" as participating in free fire zones* ordered by his superiors, yes, he and others did that.*
