Vietnam seems to be the primary issue being discussed now. As I
am a Vietnam veteran, perhaps I can add my own insights into the
debate.
John Kerry has made his Vietnam record the centerpiece of his
campaign. Consequently, his Vietnam record deserves full
scrutiny. In my opinion, his Vietnam record shows John Kerry to
be a liar, a coward, a traitor and a war criminal. Here are the
facts.
John Kerry lied about being in Cambodia in December 1968 or
January 1969. After a U.S. Army LCU accidentally crossed into
Cambodia and the U.S. crew was captured by the Cambodians, the
U.S. Navy set up a floating base on the Mekong River near the
Cambodian border.
I was at that U.S. Navy base in late 1968 and have photos to
prove it. I can assure you that the U.S. Navy blocked anyone
from going upriver into Cambodia because it was too touchy
diplomatically. John Kerry could not have ever been in Cambodia.
John Kerry is a coward for leaving Vietnam after only 41/2
months in country. Most of the rest of us spent 365 days in
Vietnam, and many returned for another tour.
John Kerry is a traitor for meeting with the North Vietnamese in
Paris when we were still at war with the North Vietnamese.
John Kerry is a self-admitted war criminal. He testified before
the U.S. Senate that he committed acts considered war crimes
under the Geneva Conventions. Neither I nor anyone I know who
served in Vietnam committed any such crimes under the Geneva
Conventions despite John Kerry's claims to the contrary. Yet
John Kerry slandered all Vietnam vets.
