For example, the fabled and distinguished chief of naval operations (CNO), 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. "We had virtually to straight-jacket him to keep him under control," the admiral said. "Bud" Zumwalt got it right when he assessed Kerry as having large ambitions -- but promised that his career in Vietnam would haunt him if he were ever on the national stage.
Kerry fought "honorably" in Vietnam (TM) Ping.

I'm so sick of this guy and it's not yet mid February. Lots of swearing between now and election day. He is an undeniably dangerous man. Like Clinton, he lies without impunity, Wonder if the sycophantic press will cover for him also?
