You know, I can remember where I was at every Christmas in my life. I sure as heck have never mixed up my location at Christmas with my location in the middle of January.
Besides, Kerry used this tale to attack Nixon for Nixon's secret war in Cambodia. Unless Kerry's referring to the last 10 days of January, it was still LBJ's war. And it's doubtful that the freshly inaugurated President Nixon immediately reversed policy on that front in his first week in office.
The fact that the New Yorker is rushing a BS defense into print should prove to the entire publishing world that the New Yorker is a hack journal (something most of us knew for years). William Shawn must be turning over in his grave.
Besides, Kerry has always talked specifically about it being Christmas Eve and Christmas day.
Kerry is a traitor to America and I hope, I PRAY, that he gets exposed. It is also my most ardent hope that Kerry rots in hell for causing honorable Veterans to suffer pain and social ridicule, not to mention the suffering that he caused our POW's, because of his lies and coordinated efforts with the Communists.
Which didn't even begin until April 1970 anyway. Is Brinkley going to write another revised piece when we point out this inconvenient fact?
"I sure as heck have never mixed up my location at Christmas with my location in the middle of January."
January psychologically would never be confused with Christmas either. Even at war, you would reflect on the past during the Christmas season. At war or at home, January can be downer.

Ya know, call me 'crazy', but I tend to think I might remember the ONLY Christmas I spent in Vietnam. But that's just me.
Add to that memory-enhancing dynamic, being in a war zone as a soldier or sailor (etc.) ... where every sense is heightened, when holiday times make memories of home and awareness of the depravities of war more strikingly memorable, and we take a new look at the twisted mind of John F. Kerry.
