Killing a baby makes you Thor? Hardly. Neither does shooting someone in the back. Killing innocents doesn't make someone macho. It was war and that shit happened and it was unfortunate but they had the right to protect themselves. But when innocents get killed accidently it doesn't make you a war hero. Not a war criminal, either, if it was unintentional. Accidently killing unarmed civilians doesn't make someone macho. Careless perhaps depending on the circumstances, but not macho.
War heros are those who act bravely. There are those who say that Kerry did not.
You missed the point, though. The point was that his memory is faulty when filling out official reports.
