DALLAS (AP) - An upcoming video game lets players re-enact the Swift boat mission in Vietnam that won Sen. John Kerry a Silver Star award for battlefield heroism.

The first-person shooter "Kuma War" uses a ripped-from-the-headlines approach where gamers can download and then relive actual battles, mainly from the current war in Iraq.

Beginning Sept. 30, the "John Kerry" mission will be available for download as an add-on pack for the game, made by New York-based Kuma Reality Games.

The Kerry mission is based on the Navy's records of the encounter on Feb. 28, 1969.

1. We all know how much Stupidhead likes video games

I wonder if the game will come with a change of shorts for him.

Or if we'll suddenly be hearing about his courageous exploits in his own swift boat?

4. sounds likea cool idea

Kerry and the swiftboats are a heroic and exciting story to be told.

I'd like to see a Bush National Guard video game, one flight mission and the rest of the game at the bar.
