When Kerry says attrocities he is not only speaking of rape and beheading.

"There are all kinds of atrocities, and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free-fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used .50 caliber machine guns, which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against the people," Kerry said. "I took part in search and destroy missions, in the burning of villages…"....

The activities described above are actions that most soldiers would have participated in. They were ordered by there superiors to do so.

The people he is criticizing is not the soldiers, but the officers and the generals running the war. They prescribed the types of actions to be taken and history has shown they were ruthless and wrong.
