Were atrocities committed in the State Department?

That seems strange to me ... what possible reason could a diplomat have to cut off another diplomat's ears, or to shoot his children?

You missed the reference, most likely deliberately.

It was Kerry who returned from service overseas and then proceeded to accuse his comrades in arms (colleagues) of committing and condoning atrocities. I was pointing out the difference between Kerry's return to the USA from his service abroad and what he did immediately thereafter with what I did upon my return and immediately thereafter.

And I might add: Kerry's comrades, thousands and thousands of them, accuse him of deliberately lying about what happened in Vietnam to make himself look good while making his former combat buddies look bad.

And on September 12, in Washington, D.C. thousands and thousands of those Vietnam Veterans will mass on the Mall and in front of the Capitol Rotunda to express in no uncertain terms their utter contempt for the man who has delusions of grandeur. You know: the one who thinks that four months in Vietnam, cutting off the ears of the enemy and shooting a lone Vietnam Cong in the back, then coming home to talk about those atrocities as a part of his political plan to run for the White House, that all of these four months' self-proclaimed atrocities somehow make him, that brave and courageous hero and saver of a shipmate's life, qualified to become the Commander-in-Chief.

Give me a break! How gullible does Kerry think we are?

That's how Kerry seeks to better himself: at the expense of others regardless of how many get hurt in the process.

Hypothetical question... assuming there were atrocities in Kerry's area of operations... and assuming Kerry participated... was it then wrong for him to step forward?
