Would you trust Kerry with any kind of covert secret mission?
Well, yes. I would trust Kerry to shoot at an unarmed pile of rice.
Yes, why would they pick a rookie with a history of complaining about the war to go on a Top Secret mission?
Why wouldn't the CIA use their own boats and men to complete the mission.
Kerry has no special talent or skills
was a rookie junior lieutenant just arrived
does not speak/read the languages
has no experience with the region/culture/topography/politics
has minimal weapons training and no infantry training
obviously had not be vetted for a security clearance
(based on the fact that he ratted out his buddies and government)
There is a real question as to whether Kerry got CIA agents killed (including the one who gave him his "lucky hat") by dropping them off (according to him) and then exposing them to the enemy while they were in combat.
Kerry had nothing to offer and brought nothing to the table, there was no common sense reason to "send him into Cambodia" as he claims.
also, notice how he typically casts himself as the "above it all" mentor for the CIA guys in that he was risking his life to get them in. (what a POS poseur!!)
What an insult this "4 month" wannabe is to REAL soldiers who had real training and conducted real mission, the least of which could beat the crap out of this whiner hippy without even breaking a sweat.
