John Kerry Asked Some Tough Questions About His Troop-Smearing “Winter Soldier” Testimony

As the left gets ready to dazzle us all with another “Winter Soldier” spectacle (it’s anti-US, anti-military hatred for a new generation!), this one very originally entitled “Winter Soldier II,”, the folks at Hot Air sent out one of their minions to ask the original “winter soldier” John Kerry some tough questions about his Vietnam-era testimony.

Ouch.

I don’t even like John Kerry and I was cringing.

Comments

That’s hilarious.  What’s even better is that everything the reporter said was 1)true and 2)called for.

Telling that this clip starts where it does. Most Kerry kneejerkers leave out his preceding sentences which were:

I would like to talk, representing all those veterans, and say that several months ago in Detroit, we had an investigation at which over 150 honorably discharged and many very highly decorated veterans testified to war crimes committed in Southeast Asia, not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command.

It is impossible to describe to you exactly what did happen in Detroit, the emotions in the room, the feelings of the men who were reliving their experiences in Vietnam, but they did. They relived the absolute horror of what this country, in a sense, made them do.

They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears,…

They told the stories at times they had personally raped ---

Kerry was not accusing anyone of anything. He was repeating what was told to him by the men who actually did those things.

He was repeating what was told to him by the men who actually did those things.

Not exactly!  None of the “confessed” acts has been proven to have happened, and a number of those “soldiers” were later shown to have never been in the military at all… never mind in Vietnam.

Defending the actions of John Kerry, particularly those which took place after his abortive 3 month “tour of duty” in Vietnam, can prove to be quite the quagmire.  Certainly its no less daunting a task than defending his record of accomplishment in the US Senate over the past 25 years.  Or his imaginative war stories.

Be very careful, Bob.  I don’t think this is a horse you want to try riding.

Nice spin Bob.  He was repeating lies and therefore while he wasn’t technically guilty of perjury I consider him as guilty as the original liars.

WOOF,

Please explain what William Calley had to do with Kerry’s make-believe “Winter Soldier” circus.  I must have missed the part where Calley “testified”.

The fact that Calley did in fact slaughter civilians, and was punished for doing so, in no way provides credibility to Kerry’s self-serving and imaginative “war crimes” tribunal.  If any of Kerry’s penitents was shown to have been telling the truth, who was it, please, and where is the record of him being convicted?

Please don’t insult my intelligence with this sort of specious, disjointed drivel.  Get another cup of coffee.

WOOF,

Cally was tried before a court martial and convicted.

Can you say the same about the perpetrators of the Hue Massacre?

Or Pol Pot’s murder of two million?  Or Stalin’s murder of over one hundred million? Or are we only looking at ourselves devoid of background of history?
Yes, some people commit individual UCMJ violations.  That is why it was written.
The difference is that our military enforces it.  Take a read of Flyboys, the book.

Or how about John Kerry’s lie that he spent Christmas in Cambodia.  “ordered by Nixon” who was not even in power then.  Fabrication.

Repeating a slander is still a slander.

Calley was convicted of murdering 22? 26? civilians.
He was spared prison by Nixon who had him put under house arrest in his officers’ quarters the day after being found guilty.

He walked after 3.5 years of legal reductions and technical findings.
None of the troops with him were convicted.

Otherroops got fines and reductions in pay after being convicted of manslaughter.

WOOF,

You can yammer on all you want about Lt.William Calley, but you have yet to demonstrate that any of those who “testified” at Kerry’s so called “Winter Soldier” performance art theater was telling the truth or that any of them was ever convicted (your standard!) of anything.

You are implying, though not very capably, that because there were atrocities committed, that John Kerry’s co-conspirators were somehow vindicated.  That’s Horseshit!  And you are certainly more than old enough to know it.

John Kerry is one of those public individuals of whom it can reasonably be assumed that if his mouth is moving, he’s lying.  That fact that he is a liberal Democrat only serves to reinforce the assumption.

One participant, Jamie Henry, had reported the massacre he described at the hearings [10] to the Army, which investigated and subsequently confirmed the story. However, the details of the investigation were not made public until 2006, when the Los Angeles Times published the declassified information [11]

150 Veterans testified

WOOF:

150 Veterans testified

Or so they claimed.
