I'd seriously be thinking he was damaged emotionally from the experience.

I believe that he was damaged emotionally before he reported to duty.

He was (and still IS) pathological in his behavior.

How many normal people would drag a camera to the war front to record their actions? And if your actions weren't Kennedy-enough, re-enact them for future commercial use when you run for President. To be THAT obsessed with achieving the power that the President wields is frightening and should be questioned.

J.Q.

He signed up only because he was going to be drafted anyway and he couldn't get the deferment. I heard O'Neil say that Kerry didn't think he was going to have to be in combat when he signed up for that. He was against the war before he got there and wanted to get what was happening on camera. He must have been damaged somewhat but not to the point where it affects day to day functioning. Both his ex-wife and current wife say that he thrashes around in his sleep and yells and screams.

" I believe that he was damaged emotionally before he reported to duty. "

Likewise.
I believe that the roots of Kerry's NPD ( narcissistic personality disorder ) began in his childhood.

Kerry's fantasy world probably began when he was a young child trying to get his parent's attention.
Kerry had as dysfunctional a childhood as Bill Clinton .
Kerry was dumped in boarding schools in Europe, while his parents lived in the US and then dumped in boarding schools in the US, while his parents lived in Europe.
The boarding schools of the 40s and 50s could be very strict and harsh environments.
Kerry has talked about his feelings of abandonment and the alienation he felt from his cold father.
Kerry didn't grow up in a warm, loving environment with two great parents like George and Barbara Bush.
At an early age, Kerry's pattern of fantasy and pathological lying probably started with tales of winning the school spelling bee or scoring the winning goal in a polo match.
Kerry's history of sleepwalking ( Tour Of Duty ),sleepwalking ,screaming and wall banging ( Washington Post and Rolling Stone interviews with Teresa )
depression , semi catatonic state after his first election loss ( New Yorker interview )
complete fabrication of his military history ( Unfit For Command )and his continued pattern of bold faced lies to this day, indicate that Kerry has a mental disorder that requires serious psychotherapy.
Which may be one of the reasons he continues to stonewall his military, medical and marriage records.
Because we can't be the first to notice Kerry's mental pathology.
It's a disgrace that the media would look the other way and ignore the overwhelming evidence that the candidate the Democrats have chosen for the highest office in the land, is IMHO, very sick.
