He was the kind of guy my buds would write back about.
They always wanted to frag these assholes.
Maybe I can't take this VN stuff dispassionately enough. But maybe that simply adds to the accuracy. If we had paid off his two hundred-plus in-country detractors to come out against him, somebody would have found out by now. Hasn't happened. They just don't, and didn't, like the fucker.
Maybe they're all just partisan hacks. Even the committed Dems among them.

Doubtless many of them felt betrayed by what Kerry said against the war after he got back. Many of them seem so angry at him that they are now contradicting things have previously said in his defense. Since only one of them was on his boat in VN, it's hard to believe it has to do with knowing him well then.
Please note that you are now linking to a piece that recounts Kerry's service in and near Cambodia in December, 1968, apparently not because you think it's more accurate but because you'll post anything that puts him in a bad light. What was that about not liking the fucker?
