Did anyone think twice about him leaving his boat to hunt down an NVA?
His patrol boat must have beached to accomplish this. I was in the navy and all. I wasn't a patrol boat crew member. Therefore I cannot accurately recite any of their rules of combat.
A simple question 1st. Why would you take a fast mobile craft,thats works effectively on water, and park it at the enemies doorstep in a combat zone? Now the flash's in the bush have a non-moving target. If they kill the crew. They can easily take the boat and do some serious damage.
I beleive he should have been courtmartialed for that unwise decision. Not awarded a medal for hunting down and killing a wounded man in cold blood. I assume he finished the job with a pistol. I also assume the NVA was wounded or he would have escaped the tall goofy yankee jumping off of his boat.
