Thanks for the chain of command correction. I'll do some searching regarding Zumwalt's comments on kerr(e?)y.
I've been trying to find some confirmation as well, but the only sources I can find to dispute this so far are what I consider left wing. It is just hard for me to believe that Zumwalt would have to pay attention to a small organization like Kerry's when the CO of that outfit, Roy Hoffman, was supposed to be a total hard ass and I would imagine that if civilians were Kerry's usual target Hoffman would have had the guy relieved.
SEALS on the other hand were even then kind of high vis. Bob Kerrey has been forced to admit that he shot up some civilians around the same time.
I just don't want this to get blown out of proportion and then be debunked like the intern thing.
