Well, heck, if the Viet Cong are willing to vouch for him...

Ex-Viet Cong Soldier Recalls Swift Boats

Associated Press -- ON THE BAY HAP RIVER, Vietnam - The 50-foot Swift boats were easy targets as they plowed through the waterways of the Mekong Delta in packs of three or four, making big waves and thunderous noise when approaching. Former Viet Cong soldier Duong Hoang Sinh remembers them well — the one time he tangled with three Swift boats, the Americans killed all of the insurgents in his unit except for two.

"Kerry served in Vietnam and he was awarded the medal for his bravery," Sinh said. "He deserves the medal."

Let's see, [most] of the guys who served with John Kerry doubt his bravery and whether or not he deserves the medals he was awarded, but the Viet Cong are going to bat for him?

Why am I not surprised?

P.S. You'll note that no where in the article is Charlie saying he tangled with the brave warrior that is John Kerry, although you're led to believe that the ferocity of the Swiftees (which I do not doubt) somehow means John Kerry was also equally as fearsome a warrior.

The media's getting pretty friggin' desperate aren't they?
