Bob Kerrey "war hero" has finally been exposed as a fraud. It seems the 21 VC his squad killed leading to his reception of the Bronze Star were actually a dozen or so unarmed women and children. It is still in question whether the deaths were part of a firefight or an execution, as maintained by one of his mates and a Vietnamese survivor. It seems Newsweak had the story back when Kerry wanted to be Commander in Chief and shelved it when he dropped out. Makes me glad I nuked my subscription after the Primary Colors fiasco.

What can i say? i go to VIetnam on a regular basis and have been lucky enough to get to know the country, VIetnam was a dirty war, on both sides and this does no suprise me in the least, the americans found it very hard to find VC soldiers so they often shot/imprisoned ordinary people partly out of spite. One thing i'd like to point out: America bitchs coz it lost 50,000 troops, vietnam lost 3 MILLION. 'nuff said.
