When I asked Kerry how it was in Nam for him he told me "Like Apocalypse Now" without Marlon Brando." He was dead serious. He wasn't bragging. He didn't even want to talk about it. The rightwing lies about Kerry so much, trying to portray him as some phony hero or boaster. I've been told Kerry hardly spoke of his war experiences for 20 some years, and hardly ever mentioned them to his family. That is typical. Killing people in a nightmarish jungle is not something you brag about, especially if you don't even know if half the people you killed were enemy combatants.
A 50 mm machine-gun rips a person apart. It's not a pretty soight. No one celebrates. No one brags unless they're an A-hole. And yet, no matter what, we must hoinor our heros, especially those who volunteer and could have avoided it, like the cowardly hypocrites in the White House. Not a single rightwing leader has ever served in combat yet they have the nerve to attack our war heros over and over again with malicious slander. Not just Kerry but others too.
