I could never make my own peace with what happened that night. I have been haunted by it for 32 years. The unit had expended 1,200 rounds of ammunition, according to the after action report filed by the unit to superior officers. Backing up Kerrey's statements was Michael Ambrose, a Huston executive who served with Kerrey. It is untrue in ever sense of the word.
Questions remain as what really happened and who is telling the truth.
That is an issue that others will need to decide and discuss. My concern is the possible backlash that this story might create. This just gives the public another tale of babies and women being killed by Vietnam Vets. Sen. Kerrey was one of our most prominent Nam heroes. He only spoke out to address this after the story had already been broken.
