Kerry committed war atrocities? Are you saying that freedom-defending American soldiers in Vietnam were guilty of war crimes? Some freepers would disagree.

Does any not think that if only question should be asked about either Bush or Kerry about Viet Nam it should be to Kerry and it should be : Did you really commit war crimes and if not were you lying in 1971 when you said you had?

Sorry, Bush might have been in Alabama and not Texas at one point and some of his records may be missing BUT he did not disgrace his fellow vets while engaged in the war, did not extend the pain and suffering of our POWs under the VC and is not a self-professed war criminal.

Honestly, I think the media is jumping the shark with this because they don't want to ask the REAL questions.

Not sure if this was sarcasm, but in case it wasn't, Kerry is the one who made the claim about war crimes while in Vietnam. It is this context that is necessary to understand the above post.

I am not saying Kerry committed war crimes, he said that about himself. It seems to me one a scale of what story is more important

A) A presidential candidate missing a guard meeeting 30 years ago.

or

B) A presidential candidate committing war atrocities.

I have to say that issue B seems a bit more important, yet how many articles are written about Bush's guard service and how many about Kerry's war atrocities?
