Did you know Timothy McVeigh was a Gulf War vet? Does that excuse his role in in the OK City bombing?

No. But then again, Kerry did not bomb a federal building.

What he did is to come back from the war and tell of its atrocities. You seem to think that was a Very Bad Thing, although the said atrocities are widely known by now. Again, would you have preferred that he lied?

It appears that e is relating WHAT OTHERS TOLD HIM, not his personal observations

That part you quoted is indeed about what others told him.

The testimony lasted more than two hours and went over his own experiences as well as that bit you quoted where he tells of the crimes others observed.

In any case, my questions remain :

(1) Is it better to evade the war thanks to wealthy daddy pulling strings?

(2) And would you rather if Kerry said nothing upon returning to the US after Vietnam?
