BRANT: "You should know what you said when you came back, the impact it had on the young sailors and how it was disrespectful of our guys that were killed over there.

[Brant had two men killed in battle.]

KERRY: "When we dedicated swift boat one in '92, I said to all the swift guys that I wasn't talking about the swifties, I was talking about all the rest of the veterans."

So, it was all the other soldiers commiting the attrocities, not Kerry and his pals?

Oops! Sorry about posting same message twice!

Just as creepy as Scott Peterson calling Amber.... I know Kerry is an idiot, but how can he NOT know why the vets are mad at him?

Except when Kerry said it was him and members of his unit: (via Instapundit)

"I committed the same kinds of atrocities as thousands of others in that I shot in free fire zones, used harassment and interdiction fire, joined in search and destroy missions, and burned villages. All of these acts were established policies from the top down, and the men who ordered this are war criminals."--John Forbes Kerry, 4/18/71, on national television ("Meet the Press")

While John Kerry never claimed to have personally raped, murdered, tortured, or cut off ears... he took credit for the other crimes.

Do I have this right? The Swifties who weren't directly on Kerry's boat didn't see enough to make a judgment, but Kerry knows everything that was going on with men with whom he never served? "We weren't cutting off ears or raping women, but I was the first the perps did tell." Maybe he saw it all while sleepwalking.
