The concessions haven't really been made, yet. The media still treats the book "Unfit for Command" as if it is untrue. If the parts of it that are examined are true (i.e., if Kerry concedes any point), then the SBVfT will have BETTER credibility than Kerry. How do I figure? Well, on examined points (not on ad hominems), every SBVfT claim is shown to be true, and every one of Kerry's stories is shown to be a fabrication. The only escape for the media is to stop covering the dispute, again.
Well, Kerry spokesmen have said that his 1st PH might have been self-inflicted, and that Kerry wasn't in Cambodia on Christmas or Christmas Eve in '68. Those are as close to concessions as we're going to see, but they're concessions nonetheless.
