General Tommy Franks has said John Kerry spoke the truth when he testified in 1971. The My Lai massacre was a fact of life back then

Why then were more soldiers not court martialed as a result?

How many FBI agents were prosecuted after Waco and Ruby Ridge? I'm not saying Kerry is right but the absence of prosecutions doesn't prove much.

Sounds like Tommy Franks is admitting to something himself. Least he could have done is take names and report the crimes later on ~ guess he thought his career was more important at the time.

Good question! We are court marshalling Guardsmen for putting panties on prisoners' heads, for crying out loud. Should Kerry and all these known war criminals not have been arrested and tried for their attrocities?

Did atrocities happen in Vietnam? Absolutely. Most of them were committed by VC/NVA. Kerry chose to ignore that (as well as the so-called MSM).

A buddy of mine supported SOG missions and battlefield cleanup (Graves Registration) as part of a C130 crew. He lost 2 medics who were trying to help wounded VC (who were booby-trapped). He also picked up the remains of his 1st cousin who had enlisted with him. His cousin had been stabbed dozens of times and gutted...he apparently ran out of ammo.

His face was the last person some of our wounded saw as they were being airlifted to Guam. He would have to hose down the back of the C130 to get the blood and other body fluids out. This man has been one of the walking dead since doing that at the age of 18 from 1964-6.

It is hard to put into words the loathing I feel towards John Kerry.
