"To me your facts are only interpretation and opinion." I see. The fact that every investigation into the allegations presented by Kerry under oath to the Senate could not sunstantiate any of their claims. Not one! Instead these investigations established that many of those who testified to commiting or witnessing "war crimes" did not serve in Vietnam, or they never were in a combat zone. Others were proven to have never served at all. Many of them falsely assumed the names of real veterans & completely fabricated their testimony. Some others admitted that their testimony was false. And many others refused to be interviewed for the investigations even after they had been given immunity from prosecution. And you are calling those well documented facts, "interpretation and opinion"? How about a link or two to credible evidence that substantiates your "interpretation and opinion"? So far, it's your personal opinion against links to well documented facts. LOL!

"The fact that some of the stories behind Kerrys words turned out to not be true does not mean he knew they weren't true at the time nor does it follow that because some were they can all be discounted." Ho hum. Debating the same lies over again, are we? .....Let's put things in perspective. Some three million men served in Vietnam. Since the logistics tail of U.S. forces is fairly large, only about 25 percent, or 750,000, served in combat units. If we add up all of the atrocities, both proven and alleged, and multiply them by two as a hedge against under-reporting, the percentage of American combat soldiers who might have committed atrocities is still less than 1 percent of the total. I doubt that many armies in history could match that record...... dev.siliconinvestor.com
