Sorry about the confusion .. my kids are bugging me big time .

Yes Kerry is in the documentary

in this one part it explains how many in the heartland supported the troops and the war

Then it says how not everyone did and it mentions how Lt. Kerry had a change of mind when he came back from the war.

It goes on to show film clips of Vietnam and tells how they are from an 8mm camera that Kerry owned and had with him on the mekong delta (sp?)

It shows the part that Kerry showed at the DNC Convention of the boats in the river and Kerry walking around in his vest and helmet

Then it shows an empty boat in the river being shot at

Then shows a scene of a swift boat beaching on the bank of the river

Then it shows some guy lighting a hut .. then a clip of a family in a boat, with a smaller boat next to it .. then shows a big gun shooting at a building and blowing it up (I thought at first it just knocked the wall down, I just checked it) .. then it jumps to a hut in flames .. then it shows Kerry and 2 other men walking through some place .. only a guess on my part, but it looks like the hut after it burned down .. BUT, I'm not real sure, just a guess

Throughout this part of the documentary .. Kerry is explaining why vets coming back were against the war and how no one was listening to them

Thanks much for this explanation. Sounds like even back then Kerry was shifting positions and had grandiose visions for the future.

The problem with this that is that in it Kerry has already inoculated himself against criticism by his apparent words at the end of the tape when he speaks that he was enlightened and "is explaining why vets coming back were against the war and how no one was listening to them". That means, unfortunately, his appearance there can be spun in a positive way in the minds of the DNC and MSM.
