John Faux Kerry took some sea stories and some movies and turned them into his Walter Mitty alternative reality. He has told these lies for so long, he can’t distinguish what is truth and what is a lie.
You know what the difference is between a sea story and a fairy tail? The fairy tail starts out “Once upon a time” and a sea story starts out “Now this ain’t no sh*t.”
The Khmer Rouge were mercenaries for the highest bid. There was some CIA support provided.
His Cambodia trip came from the movie “Apocalypse Now.”
One version of his Cambodia trip has the South Vietnamese allies drunk celebrating Christmas and shooting at him. The South Vietnamese didn’t celebrate Christmas; they celebrate Tet, which is Chinese New Years.
Another version has the Khmer Rouge shooting at him while celebrating Christmas. Sunday, he said they were delivering arms to the Khmer Rouge. Which is it? Again, the Khmer Rouge celebrate Tet or Chinese New Years.
If anyone was drunk celebrating Christmas, it would have been the Americans, Australians, or Canadians. Maybe his own troops were drunk and shooting at him. I couldn’t blame them.
His own dairy says he was at the home base for Christmas.
Americans in PBR’s like the boats in “Apocalypse Now” patrolled the Cambodian border to keep any ships or boats out. A Swift Boat had twin diesels that could be heard for miles. No one in their right mind would send a Swift Boat on a secret mission. They would send a PBR like in the movie.
His story of visiting Da Nang while on the USS Gridley is nonsense. I was there in 1965, 1966, 1967, and 1972. His story is pure BS as supported by his shipmate’s testimony. He actually believed the sea stories his shipmates told him and made it his alternative reality.
'His own dairy says he was at the home base for Christmas. '
He must have inserted that entry for Christmas Eve as "cover" for his "Super-Secret Trip with the CIA Guys", because he was so James Bond-like, and so important, yeah, that's the ticket...
now WHY would the CIA entrust a known whiner, in country for one month, to join them on a super secret incursion into a country that wasn't even supposed to be invaded...
