I think Kerry got the idea for this bogus story from Apocalypse Now. He reviewed the film for some publication and even used it as a comparision for this Magic Hat Episode.

So what you guys are saying is that Kerry's story is approximately as believable as Jeff Spicoli's story (in the '80's movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High) about how he hung out with Mick Jagger. Transparently, blatently obvious BS to anyone who knows dick about reality in Viet Nam.

Wow. I can see how Kerry gets you guys so pissed. I never really understood this before. If he ever gets to be President, it'll be President Spicoli. Bizarre. And the MSM is fully on board with it.

Well, let's just look at one part of what ol Johnny Effin Kerry said.

President Nixon sent him up the river at christmas time '68. He could hear drunken RVN troops singing christmas carols.

Problem:

Dick Nixon didn't get sworn in till Jan. 20 of '69.
Nuther problem: Almost all RVN were Buddists. Don't think they gave a hoot in hell about christmas, let alone carols.

Those are just some of the smaller difficulties with the tale.
