   Vietnam seems to be the primary issue being discussed now. As I   
   am a Vietnam veteran, perhaps I can add my own insights into the   
   debate.   
      
   John Kerry has made his Vietnam record the centerpiece of his   
   campaign. Consequently, his Vietnam record deserves full   
   scrutiny. In my opinion, his Vietnam record shows John Kerry to   
   be a liar, a coward, a traitor and a war criminal. Here are the   
   facts.   
      
   John Kerry lied about being in Cambodia in December 1968 or   
   January 1969. After a U.S. Army LCU accidentally crossed into   
   Cambodia and the U.S. crew was captured by the Cambodians, the   
   U.S. Navy set up a floating base on the Mekong River near the   
   Cambodian border.   
      
   I was at that U.S. Navy base in late 1968 and have photos to   
   prove it. I can assure you that the U.S. Navy blocked anyone   
   from going upriver into Cambodia because it was too touchy   
   diplomatically. John Kerry could not have ever been in Cambodia.   
      
   John Kerry is a coward for leaving Vietnam after only 41/2   
   months in country. Most of the rest of us spent 365 days in   
   Vietnam, and many returned for another tour.   
      
   John Kerry is a traitor for meeting with the North Vietnamese in   
   Paris when we were still at war with the North Vietnamese.   
      
   John Kerry is a self-admitted war criminal. He testified before   
   the U.S. Senate that he committed acts considered war crimes   
   under the Geneva Conventions. Neither I nor anyone I know who   
   served in Vietnam committed any such crimes under the Geneva   
   Conventions despite John Kerry's claims to the contrary. Yet   
   John Kerry slandered all Vietnam vets.
