this guy's right on the MONEY, Mark-

1. Bad tactics. Anyone would have known that a common tactic was to lure our forces into an ambush. Kerry needlessly, idiotically put his crew, craft and mission at peril. Unforgivable.

2. John Wayne it? C'mon ! Jump off ALONE, even if the perp was .50 hit? STUPID! ..a death wish?..
NO!

He just didn't have the guts, and ALLEGEDLY acted without thinking. (I don't believe it happened.

3. LT Kerry- ever heard of the Geneva Convention?
We Don't Kill The Wounded, Even Though The Enemy Does. Cardinal Rule.

4. As the Commander of the craft, Kerry apparently thought he should be would be responsible for writing up and approving his own award recomendations. He apparently had no witnesses
to his "heroic" acts. Jumping off in pursuit was an IDIOT's act, not a hero's.

5. I'd like to see the official files for the incidents, including all witness statements.
