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.

Signed,
Conservative Democrat with no representation in the party as currently
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!

AGREE!!!!
I spent two involuntary tours in Vietnam in the U.S. Army between 1967 and
1979 and I witnessed atrocities such as cutting off ears of the dead,
burning down villages, shooting of water buffalo and ducks and rape.
Those
in Vietnam who did not witness or perform such were probably garrison
troops in a headquarters unit.

Also, I spent some time at a place called Dong Tam in the Mekong Delta.
You
could climb a short distance up the comms tower and look into Cambodia.
It
was common knowledge that the boats there and troops WERE going into
Cambodia.

Yeah....but not the B-52s. smirk :-) That Kissinger....what a crazy guy.
