It seems Kerry was relating "stories" he said he was told by fellow-veterans. He never said he saw the atrocities committed himself. True for the moment. That took some time. But under questioning eventually Kerry did admit to violating the Hague and Geneva Conventions on the battlefield. Though he refused to share specific details of his own actions at that time. Here is a clip from an article published in the Boston Globe. The article is lengthy and examines many parts of Kerry and his movement. To some veterans, including some of those who served alongside Kerry, this was too much. They thought they had served honorably, and they had seen Kerry as a gung-ho skipper who led the charge and didn't voice such opposition on the battlefield. "I would go up a river with that man anytime. He was a great American fighting man," said Michael Bernique, a highly decorated veteran who served as a swift boat skipper alongside Kerry. But Bernique remains upset with Kerry's assertion that atrocities were committed, an assertion that Kerry has not backed away from. "I think there was a point in time when John was making it up fast and quick. I think he was saying whatever he needed to say." boston.com
