Wakie,

Kerry did WAYYYYYY more than ask to bring home his fellow soldiers. Go read his testimony before the US Senate in 1971...
I assume you're talking about the part where he describes of the very screwed up things he saw fellow soldiers do in Vietnam.

It seems that every guy who came back from Vietnam has some stories about seeing fellow soldiers doing messed up things.  That is an unfortunate side effect of war.  Some soldiers do not know how to behave.

So you honestly believe that our troops were commiting daily atrocities in Vietnam.  Cutting women and children's toes, ears and fingers off like Kerry claimed?
All of them?  No.
Some of them?  Yes.

This is a sad reality of war.  In times of war, certain soldiers can behave in a manner that would seem completely incomprehensible to them at any other time.

People who deny that these things happen are being both blind and foolish.

Exactly. That happens in all wars. It's more common with uncivlized armies, but it happens even with Western soldiers.
