I read it Kerry's speech too. I think his speaking up caused the Vietnam war to be ended sooner. I think it was John Dean, a former White House counsel (who blew the Watergate scandal apart that toppled Nixon) that had a greater impact in ending the Vietnam War sooner. In the runup to Nixon's resignation, a number of embarrassing and unsavory things, if I am not mistaken, pertaining to the Vietnam War, were revealed. Things were so bad that Nixon had no choice but to resign. Maybe he knew beforehand a pardon from his successor (Gerald Ford) was forthcoming???????

Kerry did nothing to help his fellow soldiers. Nothing. There is NOTHING in his speech to the Senate to implore they fund the war properly or get out of it. Instead, Kerry chose to say that his fellow soldiers were murders, rapists, torturers, etc. He admitted that he did those things, yet provided no proof of that. He was all talk, and no action. Unless of course, you count talking to Communist leader of North Vietnam a couple of times, while his fellow soldiers like John McCain were still in POW camps.
