"For example, the fabled and distinguished chief of naval operations (CNO),
Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, told me -- 30 years ago when he was still CNO -- that
during his own command of US naval forces in Vietnam, just prior to his
anointment as CNO, young Kerry had created great problems for him and the
other top brass, by killing so many non-combatant civilians and going after
other non-military targets.

"We had virtually to straight-jacket him to keep him under control," the
admiral said. "Bud" Zumwalt got it right when he assessed Kerry as having
large ambitions -- but promised that his career in Vietnam would haunt him
if he were ever on the national stage."

Is Mr. Zumwalt still alive, and are there any records or papers to this story. Oh the horror of it all Wink

You wouldn't want somebody like Drudge to link to that article (if you're a Kerry fan). Anyone? Anyone? Laughing

Actually Drudge won't pick this up - it's been floating around the internet since at least Feb of this year. Smile

Still interesting - I believe it's included in UFC, too.
