"Mac Owens of NRO (teaches at Naval War College) said in a recent column that Kerry served honorably. Until new information surfaces, I'll go with that. Making up bogus charges is what the left does-- there's plenty of reasons not to like Kerry without making them up."
You missed the point on that one. The point is, Kerry didn't do anything differently from anything else other Americans in Vietnam did... what he DID do is turn around and call THEM war criminals for doing it. So, if he calls his fellow serviceman war criminals, then, by his own definition, he must be one too.
The point was that he is a hypocrite. I'm not condemning his actions... I'm condemning his condemnation. If you haven't noticed, Kerry is a guy who likes to have it both ways.

Kerry cannot be allowed, in the same breath, to call himself a hero, but curse others as criminals, for the exact same conduct.
Innocents were killed in Vietnam because it was inherent in that type of combat -- VC used women and children, often hiding behind them. Kerry, killing a kid to get to a soldier, is no more righteous in his actions than any other American killing a kid to get to a VC.
