I remember lying there, in disbelief, as I learned how Kerry told the world
that I served in an Army reminiscent of Genghis Khans; that officers like me
routinely let their men plunder villages and rape villagers at will; that
"war crimes" committed in Vietnam by my fellow soldiers "were not isolated
incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness
of officers at all levels of command."


Kerry didn't accuse directly anyone. He recalled vets who in Detroit said that they had commited crimes in Vietman. This was around the same time as the MiLai massacre was being investigated. Kerry said that he himself had been ordered and taken part in free fire zone missions, which he later learned were against the rules of the Geneva convention. On the Dick Cavett show, John O'Neal of swift boat liar fame himself admitted to carrying out such missions, and he didn't seem to know that these are against the rules of the Geneva convention. What's with these guys anyway? Don't seem to have the integrity to recognize what they did, even if they were ordered to? And what's with you?
