Both of his accusers have major credibility problems. Kerrey and I would probably disagree on major issues, but he's always struck me as an honorable man with his vision of the country's best interests in his heart. It was a guerilla war fought in a jungle and second-guessing him with 30 years' hindsight, by those who largely weren't there, strikes me as lame in the extreme.
War is hell, and schitt happens.
In every war. No one who is in that kind of combat comes out with totally clean hands. The peole accusing him in the media don't want to let the political issues underlying the war and the policy decisions made, be put to rest. It was wrong when they came home to a villain's reception in 73, and it's as wrong today. A critic is someone who never actually goes to the battle, yet who afterwards comes out shooting the wounded.
