Yes, I've read that. Also this: en.wikipedia.org Kerry was one of many many Vietnam Vets who had something to say about the war. He was one of millions of Americans who spoke to end that war. The Will of the People DID prevail and the war WAS ended. Atrocities against civilians? It was one of the reasons so many Vets threw their medals away. Kerry was in the midst of a cause. It was a gut-wrenching time of suffering and emotional anguish for many. I think it is fair to say that his language was sometimes unnecessarily graphic or sensational, but those at the Fulbright Hearing seemed to find his address eloquent and helpful to their understanding. It is Christmas time and I think I will move on to other matters. Kerry was an activist but he was clearly a non violent activist and certainly not for insurrection: "Despite his important role in Operation POW and other VVAW events, as time went on Kerry found that VVAW was becoming more radical. Kerry was trying to moderate the group, to push it in the direction of nonviolence and working within the system. Other members, however, were more militant. Kerry eventually quit the organization over this difference in approach"
