Just damn! F. Democrats.
I'm shocked that the Toledo Blade would run such a series of articles. Don't they know that the modern standard is that anyone who served was a hero and should not have his tour of duty questioned? Oh, Kerry must have taken the advice and hired on the old Clinton Cronies to do a slash and burn against his critics.
Thanks for the pings.
The original Toledo Blade story says Tiger Force consisted of 45 people.

According to the VA, 3,403,000 service members served in the Southeast Asia theater.

IF the Blade story were 100% true (which I doubt), how would that prove that Kerry's '71 claim of pervasive, systemic war crimes to be true. Exactly what percent of 3,403,000 is 45?
At the time, Kerry said that his tetimony was based on the Winter Soldier circus, which has been shown to be mostly lies.
