"We had virtually to straight-jacket him to keep him under control," the admiral said.So, then: nothing's really changed, in other words... right? :)

It looks like Kerry is finally getting the beating he's been seeking. i see Joe Scarboro ran "the picture" and had a guest speaking about the newfound anger of vets.
The democrats were sadly mistaken in thinking that Kerry would be off limits as they attacked the presidents past.

To John Kerry: 'Bring it On!' He spins so fast you can't tell who's on the seat.

young Kerry had created great problems for him and the other top brass, by killing so many non-combatant civilians and going after other non-military targets. "We had virtually to straight-jacket him to keep him under control,"
Very interesting. How reliable is this?

I don't understand how a swift boat commander could be offing so many civilians by himself. Maybe we should be checking Kerry's service record and talking to his commanders.

Several members of the media are tooting John Freakin' Kerry's horn and that the President had better watch out for this accelerating jaugernaut!
This whole last year has been a major pollution of the airwaves by the buffoons "campaigning" for the DEMOCRAP nomination. Surprise, surprise, A DEMOCRAP WILL WIN THE DEMOCRAP NOMINATION! The entire exercise has been supported by the media (as though there was no other news) and the cost of these activities will NOT appear on any of the Financial Disclosure Statements filed with the FEC (Senator Mc Lame please take note!).

I thought it was Nebraska Sen Bob Kerry who whacked a whole bunch of civvies during his tour. Are they talking about the right Kerry when referring to the Zumwalt quote?

If Lt Calley had been a Boston left wing blueblood, instead of a good ole boy from Georgia, he wouldn't have gone to prison, he would have gone to the US Senate.

Did you listen to Rush today about the media being on the Kerry bandwagon? I cracked up when he talked about Kerry winning a DemocRAT primary in the south. Your post reminded me of that fact -- big surprise.
You are so right -- McLame needs to take note!

Maybe Kerry was a one man MaiLai!
Vote Kerry, and you'll get Kofi as Sec Def!

Are they talking about the right Kerry when referring to the Zumwalt quote? That sure would be embarrassing after writing this story.

" Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, told me -- 30 years ago when he was still CNO -- that during his own command of US naval forces in Vietnam, just prior to his anointment as CNO, young Kerry had created great problems for him and the other top brass, by killing so many non-combatant civilians and going after other non-military targets." I'll bet the farm that you won't see THAT in the New York Times, or on CNNABCMSNBCCBS....
Perhaps Kerry's complaints of war crimes -- was his own self admission, then like a true Democrat pushing the blame on to "Everybody was doing it".....
This %$#%^$## has to go down...

"I don't understand how a swift boat commander could be offing so many civilians by himself. Maybe we should be checking Kerry's service record and talking to his commanders." Caution is indicated. And research required before proceeding further.
But the fact that Kerry has openly accused others of these same charges serves as a certain kind of corroboration. Liberal Democrats excel at accusing others of what they themselves have done.

I am willing to bet money that, in the unlikely event this ever make it into the mainstream press, it will be brushed over with the ease Clinton shrugged of Gennifer Flowers in 1992.
Kerry's lapdogs in the press will pass it off as either (a)youthful indiscretions or (b)paint him as a traumatized victim whose environment in an immoral war forced him to act that way-- which is why he went overboard as Hanoi Jane's lapdog in denouncing the war after he was discharged. If forced to choose which, I'd pick (b) because it kills two birds with one stone.
I'd rather see Kerry being the nominee than that oleaginous John Edwards.

"young Kerry had created great problems for him and the other top brass, by killing so many non-combatant civilians and going after other non-military targets." John Kerry's My Lai?

Since the story is about John Kerry i assume thats exactly who Zumwalt was speaking of. Also the odds of both men being in the same branch under the command of Zumwalt and then ending up in the senate seems pretty low.
Keep in mind, im not speaking from military experience.
