Kerry visited the Yale campus as a representative of Vietnam Veterans Against the War before he testified to Congress. He made the outrageous claim that U.S. soldiers routinely committed war crimes in Vietnam. When I challenged his claim, he stated, "I was there! You weren't! I know what happened there!" He became highly indignant when I stated that were what he said true, he should be tried for the crime under the UCMJ of failing to report atrocities which he claimed all officers in Vietnam knew occurred. I was then shouted down -- the major way leftists from the '60s and '70s dealt with people who asked questions. (I suspect they would have lynched me if they could have.)
