No. Actually it was one wounded VC teenager who was fleeing for his life and
Kerry shot him in the back and received a SS.

Dave, I'm no Kerry fan, but he even if what you say above is correct (and I'm
pretty sure it isn't), that VC wasn't in New England, he was in Vietnam and
Kerry was in combat. Kerry might have gotten into the service for no more
reason than future good for political career and then "oops-ed" his way into
combat, but he didn't run or hide and at least some of his men still think he
was a "hero." Whatever else, that should say something to you - as always,
though, YMMV.

TC,
