So, what you're saying is that you either have very limited direct
experience with VN vets or that you think someone who is wounded three
times, who commands troops in action, who is awarded a bronze and a
silver, and who has the option of leaving, should stay or be declared
unpatriotic.

I am a Viet Nam vet. In reply to your other question I don't know of any
soldier who was in Viet Nam who was awarded medals but was not injured to the
point where he couldn't fight left before his tour was up. Kerry's so called
wounds were nothing. Maybe he knew about the 3 medals you get to go home rule
and that's why he became "wounded" so many times in a short period of time.
