Smear Vets hate Kerry because of his truthful account of the Bo De massacre. Isn't the prime reason because he wanted the murderers brought to justice? Usually criminals will attack their accuser.

ABC story is much different from the story which elitist john forbes kerry wrote up to get his Silver Star with "V" device. ABC reporters do not understand how to sort out the facts... VC lowers his weapon and flees and elitist john forbes kerry found him cowering behind a building a shot him.... no bravery here.... appears from these accounts that vc should have been taken prisoner, not executed.... elitist john forbes kerry should probably have been courts-martialed under the Articles of War.....

You idiot! The Vietnamese story contradicts Kerry's claim: Her husband, Tam, said the man who fired the B-40 rocket was hit in this barrage of gunfire. Then, he said, "he ran about 18 meters before he died, falling dead." .............. According to the after-action report, after beaching the Swift boat, Kerry "chased VC inland, behind hooch, and shot him while he fled, capturing one B-40 rocket launcher, with round in chamber." None of the villagers seems to be able to say for a fact that they saw an American chase the man who fired the B-40 into the woods and shoot him. Nobody seems to remember that. But they have no problem remembering Ba Thanh, the man who has been dismissed by Kerry's detractors as "a lone, wounded, fleeing, young Vietcong in a loincloth." (The description comes from "Unfit for Command," by Swift boat veteran John O'Neill.) "No, this is not correct," Nguyen Thi Tuoi, 77, told ABC News. "He wore a black pajama. He was strong. He was big and strong. He was about 26 or 27." ................ abcnews.go.com
