where Kerry went wrong was when he claimed that the atrocities were NOT limited aberrations, but were SOP approved by the chain of command. There were atrocities committeed. The VAST majority were committed by the NVA/VC. There were some atrocites committed by US troops, but they were rare. I've never, EVER heard of a documented case of US troops beheading people, as he claimed. The ROK troops did, but not the US troops.
It's interesting to note that Kerry admitted in his testimony to PERSONALLY committing war crimes. Why on earth would we want to elect a war criminal, much less a serial murderer? Please remember, if he was committing war crimes like he claimed, it was murder, and he claimed to do it repeatedly.
