There were some GI's in Vietnam who really did commit war crimes. You cannot totally blame them because they had gone mad, but there were instances where dozens of innocent people were slaughtered for no real reason. You saw an example in Oliver Stone's "Platoon" which was quite realistic. Kerry may have been refering to that. But you know of course that Kerry was not attacking the soldiers. He after all was the head of Vets Against The War, representing his brothers in arms against the top brass and policy-makers. What he was attacking was the chaos and madness poor policy-making and dishonest leaders had created. Secretary McNamara echos this in the new documentary about him. McNamara was one of those ones who was to blame and he is on his knees asking for forgivesness now before he dies. The rightwing will try to twist all this around, but the truth is that by 1970-1072 John Kerry was right about the war. By then it was a hopeless crazed situation and the original intent of the war was all but forgotten.
