Swift Boat Controversy--Vietnamese Point of View

Did anyone else see the AP article in Salon about the US Navy's Swift Boats from the Vietnamese point of view? The AP found a couple of ex-VC who were engaged in fighting US Swift Boats in early 1969. The ex-VC said that they thought that their American opponents had a lot of guts for taking them on and thought that US right-wing efforts to deny their courage was just politics.

For those who are interested, here's a link:
