Soon after the protests, Kerry appeared on the television program Meet The Press, and said: “There are all kinds of atrocities, and I would have to say that yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free-fire zones.” He went on to say that those who designed the policy that allowed U.S. servicemen to shoot at anyone in a free-fire zone were “war criminals.” In 2004 Kerry appeared on the same news program and said: “I think some soldiers were angry at me for that, and I understand that and I regret that, because I love them. But the words were honest but on the other hand, they were a little bit over the top.” Critics from both the left and the right said this was another sign of political waffling on Kerry’s part.

John Kerry calls himself a war criminal and "paints" Vietnam Veterans with the same brush. |
