eta: They served together on the same boat for 7 days.

As I was channel surfing yesterday, I saw that CSPAN was playing a joint appearance of Kerry and O'Neill (?) from the Dick Cavett Show circa 1971 or so. I watched for a few minutes, and it seemed like they were arguing about the same stuff then as they are now -- O'Neill made some comment about serving 18 months instead of Kerry's 4 months, they argued about who served on which boat and what parts of the rivers they patrolled, etc.
One thing I did learn was that the "war crimes" Kerry said at the time that he witnessed was the use of so-called "free-fire zones" and the destruction of Vietnamese huts along the rivers. He said both were violations of the Geneva Conventions. O'Neill said that he never destroyed any huts during his patrol time.
Did anyone see the whole thing?
