Another reason the military may not trust Kerry is that according to Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson in 'Reckless Disregard', Kerry was selected to chair the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs in 1992 in order to investigate the reams of evidence of American prisoners not returned from Vietnam. Colonel Millard Peck, head of the Pentagon's POW/MIA office resigned in disgust after 8 months. He wrote, "The mind-set to 'debunk' is alive and well. It is held at all levels...The sad fact is that...a cover up may be in progress. The entire charade does not appear to be an honest effort and may never have been.'"

Also from 'Reckless Disregard' (RD) - "Senator Kerry had another agenda, however. He wanted to clear all the impediments for normalizing relations with Vietnam." "Kerry refused to interview key witnesses and ordered committee staff to shred important intelligence documents. The shredding stopped only when some staffers protested. "Sen. John Kerry had 120 boxes of potentially explosive National Security Agency files reclassified before Senate [POW/MIA] investigators could study them." "The committee's final report, issued in January of 1993, officially closed the issue for Congress." "Shortly after, Vietnam announced it had granted a large real estate contract to Colliers International, based in Boston. The multimillion-dollar contract was for a massive modernizing of Vietnam's ports, railroads, and other infrastructure. Colliers International's CEO, C. Stewart Forbes, is John Forbes Kerry's cousin." Kerry left our POWs hanging out to dry.

I knew abou this before the book to some extent, but what I am seeing makes it worse.

The man should be in front of a firing squad for treason.
