Taking a look at Mr. Kerry's much-promoted Vietnam service, his military record was, indeed, remarkable in many ways. Last week, the former assistant secretary of defense and Fletcher School of Diplomacy professor, W. Scott Thompson, recalled a conversation with the late Admiral Elmo R. Zumwalt Jr. that clearly had a slightly different take on Mr. Kerry's recollection of their discussions:


"he fabled and distinguished chief of naval operations, Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, told me — 30 years ago when he was still CNO —that during his own command of U.S. 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 straitjacket 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." And this statement was made despite the fact Zumwalt had personally pinned a Silver Star on Mr. Kerry.

The person who runs this site is named Ron Lenoard.
He is asking "If someone can pass me along something positive about John Kerry that he has done for vets, or the military I will promptly post that also , So send it in, I am all ears." So, since he is asking for your thoughts, Mr.Lenoard's email address is [email protected]

1. How convenient that

old Elmo is deceased and unable to verify those comments. Gimme a break .. I've known dozens of VN vets. NO ONE has reported that the top brass had such concerns in ANY context.

I hate it when people expect me to be STUPID.

5. If that were true

I would think the freepers would want to appoint him their new messiah,they seem to like unabashed,bloody atrocity.

They know it isn't true,they are just smarting from their "hero" suffering a miserable defeat in the comparison of military records. They are grasping at straws and coming up empty handed.

6. w. scott thompson is a right wing nut

he also said, in the SAME ARTICLE, "In Kerry's case, for example, he has shown precious little interest in Asia since his tour in Vietnam, and there is little doubt that he will follow the standard Democratic party, pro-Beijing, line."

Maybe that makes sense to you, but it doesn't to me.
