John Kerry wrote his Review for "Apocalypse Now" on Oct 14, 1979 in the Boston Herald.
The key words in this scan are on page two--->
JOHN KERRY:
"On more than one occasion, I like Martin Sheen in "Apocalypse Now," took my patrol boat into Cambodia. In fact I remember spending Christmas Eve of 1968 five miles across the Cambodian border being shot at by our South Vietnamese allies who were drunk and celebrating Christmas. The absurdity of almost being killed by our own allies in a country in which President Nixon claimed there were no American troops was very real."

John Kerry is a unmittigated liar, a sociopath and completely unfit for command and leadership in these United States. His presidency would be even worse than Bill Clinton's, and I had not thought that possible.
I pray to God that the American people are not taken in by his thinly veiled and even sophmoric lies and promises...that there are enough with some measure of virtue, integrity and honor left to put him down hard in the upcoming election.
I believe there will be.

What is it with democrats.
I have had to put up with statements such as apparently inventing the Internet (Gore), personally being at some disaster in Texas (Gore), watching churches burn in Arkanas (Bubba) and now taking trips into Cambodia with a fair size boat when there were big concrete blocks and other things blocking the path of the boat in the river ....
Will it ever stop?

"The absurdity of almost being killed by our own allies in a country in which President Nixon claimed there were no American troops was very real." I know that I'm a dumb Conservative and all but if I'm not mistaken LBJ was still President in December 1968 not Nixon.

This review shows that his "Christmas in Cambodia" comment wasn't simply a misspeak. This review was written and edited; surely someone at the paper asked him if the Cambodia comment was true. And Kerry had to read this after he wrote it.
The Cambodia lie was deliberately done, to enhance his cachet as someone in the know about the war, and to associate himself with the movie (thanks to P-JComix for making the connection.)

What a target-rich paragraph! He went there more than once and refused to acknowledge Johnson's war. Did the SV really celebrate Christmas like that? Just curious.

It's a great scan and tangible proof of Kerry's nuttiness. If you print it out can you get the words in the scan to come out clearly enough to read?

Just out of curiosity... Why would Vietnamese be celebrating Christmas when most of them are buddhists, taoists, confucionists and caodists? There were catholics but not many as Catholicism didn't really start there until the 1960s . Something doesn't sound right here? I've gotten my material from:
http://www.askasia.org/frclasrm/readings/r000058.htm
Can anyone help me out here?
