The Vietnam atrocities Kerry described were very real. Remember the My Lai massacre and all the photos? And that was not an isolated event.

Kerry says he regrets some of the more colorful descriptions, but there is no denying that the CIA's Phoenix Program alone accounted for thousands of terrorizing assassinations, using extreme methods like be-heading, as well as torture. Kerry was likely a boat ferry captain for Phnoenix. That's why he went into Cambodia 3-4 times. The reason be-heading was used was because superstitious Buddhists believe you can get to Nirvana without a head.

By the late 60's that's how nuts that war was. We had turned into monsters, as bad as anything on the enemy side, and we were fighting on for no good reason against an enemy we didn't understand and it had almost nothing to do with US national security.

Like Kerry told me, it was like APOCALYPOSE NOW without the surfboards. It was madness.
