Since the Cambodia story has been proven a lie, this additional information at the very least reinforces doubts about Kerry's honesty, and at the very worst brings up questions about his mental stability.
Kerry, a Vietnam War veteran who commanded a high-speed patrol boat on the Mekong River for six months and at one point entered Cambodia, made several visits to the country as a Democratic Senator from the state of Massachusetts.

UPDATE: Reader Garnet Girl emails:
If Kerry really wants to avoid talking about Cambodia, he probably ought to take the word out of the meta tag on his service page.
And sure enough, if you go here and click "view source" you'll see this:
meta name=target content="military record, cambodia, vietnam, military service"
Bizarre.
We should call for a Physchological evaluation on this guy, I mean what if he really has a split personality disorder or dementia or something.
Kerry's tearful appeal to the good citizens of America to forgive his wanting to be a real hero. He will be accompanied by his crew members and all the out of favor retired Generals/Admirals, with a large contingent of DAVs.
It will probably be simulcast by all networks.
I heard somewhere that he deliberately changed his name so that he could have JFK's initials.
We need one comprehensive thread for all the Kerry's Christmas in Cambodia stories/links/quotes.

I e-mailed Teh Note people and got a reply that they are working on this.
Somehow I doubt it.
Per this blog http://www.pdawwg.com/blog/ .

Thanks to S.O.L. for finding this orginal artical and thanks to Meekonegop for scanning into a reply. Now It will not disappear.
This needs to get to our media and the Swift Boat Vets.
All of this goes to the character of this guy - oh, NO not another Mr. Bill! In researching this Swiftboat issue we have overlooked another group of Navy folks who may be able to add information. HAL-2 was a light helo squadron who provided overhead cover to Swiftboats along the Mekong. These men attacked everything in front of these moving boats and along the banks. They were first to be called when the boats took fire. Perhaps we can flush out some of those Naval Aviators to help in this effort? I went to flight school with several of these guys and flew missions in Vietnam with the USMC. God bless Hugh Hewitt for his efforts in exposing this fraud - will be hear "No,legal authority" before this is over?
Is there way to read the entire article typed out? The scan is hard to read. I would love to read the whole article and start emailing it to my friends...
If Martin Sheen remembers Kerry being on the boat on the mission to terminate Marlon Brando, I guess he'll be off the hook on this for most Democrats.
Here's the real movie plan about Kerry which he would receive Royalties for?
George Butler is a New Hampshire Film Maker and a long time friend with Kerry. He made such films as "Pumping Iron". Butler is currently making a film about Kerry's experiences in Vietnam, called "Going up River", expected to hit theatres this September. This is one reason Kerry's campaign is against this book because it will blow his cover and bring questions to this films accuracy. This is a quote from Butler on WHDH TV Boston, Aired 7/21/2004.
"Everything John Kerry said about Vietnam applies to Iraq as well. So there's a message in the film that's very interesting film indeed."

PJ-Comix, makes the FIRST ANALOGY between Kerry's Christmas in Cambodia and Apocalypse Now. I will now humbly accept the Sherlock Holmes Deductive Reasoning Award.
I think one can fairly describe Kerry as just an errand boy sent by grocery clerks.
