... 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. Seems like Ketchup Boy was telling the truth when he admitted to committing war crimes.
Perhaps he was a bit trigger happy?
A few months ago, before I was aware of Kerry's full story, my wife and I were talking about how he came to be so anti-military so fast. I came to think that he must have done or been complicit in some activity that was way far outside what his society held as acceptable.
You get to a point in life where the root of anyone's behaviour can usually be narrowed to a very few possibilities. I knew there was a deep guilt at work.
