what kind of combat wounds did he supposedly suffer? give us some details.... this could get interesting.... i am surprised you mentioned cambodia... i understand there was a problem on whether he was in Cambodia or not..... how did you come up with 6 or 7 months total. it is a fact that he was there for 4 months or less...... before he boogied out of country..... and got credit for a full 12 month combat tour. other service personnel, and i mean hundreds of thousands served full 12 month tours....

Despite the dramatic memories of his Christmas in Cambodia, Kerry’s statements are complete lies. Kerry was never in Cambodia during Christmas 1968, or at all during the Vietnam War. In reality, during Christmas 1968, he was more than fifty miles away from Cambodia. Kerry was never ordered into Cambodia by anyone and would have been court-martialed had he gone there. During Christmas 1968, Kerry was stationed at Coastal Division 13 in Cat Lo. Coastal Division 13’s patrol areas extended to Sa Dec, about fifty-five miles from the Cambodian border. Areas closer than fifty-five miles to the Cambodian border in the area of the Mekong River were patrolled by PBRs, a small river patrol craft, and not by Swift Boats. Preventing border crossings was considered so important at the time that an LCU (a large, mechanized landing craft) and several PBRs were stationed to ensure that no one could cross the border. swiftvets.com
