You know that. I know that.
It was the wound-licking young sailor, John F. Kerry, who said that then-Pres. Nixon knew Kerry was in Cambodia for Christmas in 1968, and that Nixon lied to the world.
In lying about where he was, Kerry forgot LBJ was still POTUS in 1968. It is easy to believe Kerry didn't know where he was, where he had been or where he was going only that he got three medals for being there.
