John Kerry said:
"I would like to talk, representing all those veterans, and say that several
months ago in Detroit, we had an investigation at which over 150 honorably
discharged and many very highly decorated veterans testified to war crimes
committed in Southeast Asia, not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a
day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of
command....
They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears,
cut off
heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned
up the
power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed
villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun,
poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South
Vietnam in
addition to the normal ravage of war, and the normal and very particular
ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country"
Truth, false claims, nuanced position, or perhaps slander? No wonder those
Swift boat vets are ****ed off.

formatted.
Amazing how loonies can hate a man for bravery & truth. Even when the
truth comes from a man who was there & was wounded, the rest of the story
is just supposed to be covered up.
Kerry proved with actions that he has the capacity for personal bravery up
to the point of risking his life to save others, serving his country to
the highest degree short of death, while George W. Bush draft-dodged &
went awol even from his non-duties in the National Guard the instant
drug-testing was required of him.
Kerry had the integrity to follow-up on his bravery in action up with
honesty in service to the world, in reporting what occurred happened in
Viet Nam. Bravery & honesty -- yuck, deplorable.
How sad that anyone on earth can so deplore the combination of bravery &
honesty. I'll never fathom how anyone purporting to care about vets would
prefer for president a draft-dodging coward & pathological liar who has
sent men & women to die in battle for reasons that had no basis in
reality.
Machieveli said that the best way to destroy a good man is to find his
best & least assailable traits, & assail those. And people think Bush
doesn't know philosophy!
