Yes I remember. Kerry was a dangerous loose cannon.
Kerry didn't want to leave? Interesting. I speculated before that Kerry's been mentally unstable most or all of his life. One would almost think he ENJOYED shooting fleeing enemies in the back, and going psycho in a free fire zone for no particular reason, according to some of the accounts. It wasn't jus tthe fleeing but some excerpts of his diary I've read that give me the impression he spent most of that 4 months shivering in abject terror.
His favorite game was to make believe he was King Arthor....must be hard for him to reconcile his sadistic tendancies (all sadists are cowards) with the image of an honorable hero. Looks like he projected his own Dark side onto a hundred thousand innocent men just so he could recreat himself in his Arthor/Prince Charming persona.
Charming indeed.
There was one Christmas entry posted that was just so adolescent and self-pitying that all I could think of was the old 60s song "Why Must I Be a Teenager in Love?" (which I always hated, BTW!). The subject matter was -- obviously -- different, but the tone!
