I'm trying to stay away from flame war threads. Lost what I thought were friends by participating in them. I'm learning the hard way it's best to just keep my mouth shut. I'm not the most articulate writer and often times my words come out a bit brash when i don't really mean them too. People take it the wrong way and nothing good comes of it.

Parrot Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Saturday, Feb. 21, 2004 9:23 a.m. EST Kerry Denies Quotes Accusing U.S. Soliders of War Crimes In a stark about-face, Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry is now denying that he ever accused U.S. soldiers of committing war crimes in Vietnam, despite amply documented comments - some televised, others delivered while under oath - in which he did exactly that. Asked on Thursday whether he had accused his fellow soldiers of committing war crimes in Vietnam during his April 1971 testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Kerry told CNN's Judy Woodruff: "No, I was accusing American leaders of abandoning the troops. And if you read what I said, it is very clearly an indictment of leadership. I said to the Senate, where is the leadership of our country? And it's the leaders who are responsible, not the soldiers. I never said that." However, a transcript of Kerry's April 22, 1971, testimony contains accusations that his brother soldiers committed all manner of atrocities, charges he based on interviews of returning Vietnam vets earlier that year at the Winter Soldier Investigation, an event Kerry organized with anti-American actress Jane Fonda. Kerry told the Senate that Winter Soldier witnesses "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." Speaking under oath, Kerry continued: "They told stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires with portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan." A few days before his Senate testimony, Kerry gave the following account on NBC's "Meet the Press": "There are all kinds of atrocities, and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50 calibre machine guns, which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took part in search and destroy missions, in the burning of villages." The future presidential candidate added: "All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare, all of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions and all of this is ordered as a matter of written established policy by the government of the United States from the top down." Appearing on "The Dick Cavett Show" in July 1971, Kerry admitted that he'd never actually seen some of the atrocities he testified about, but still maintained that U.S. soldiers fighting in Vietnam routinely violated the Nuremberg Principles. "I personally didn't see personal atrocities in the sense I saw somebody cut a head off or something like that," he told Cavett. "However, I did take part in free-fire zones, I did take part in harassment and interdiction fire, I did take part in search-and-destroy missions in which the houses of noncombatants were burned to the ground." Kerry continued: "And all of these acts, I find out later on, are contrary to the Hague and Geneva conventions and to the laws of warfare. So in that sense, anybody who took part in those, if you carry out the application of the Nuremberg Principles, is in fact guilty." CNN's Woodruff declined to confront Kerry with his previous comments accusing his brother soldiers of committing war crimes in Vietnam.

jazman Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Mr. Parrot, I can tell by your rapid response that you evidently have less days in a US military uniform than G.W. Bush II. I think he's the same person you're attempting to glorify. Isn't he the same person who could not seem to find his way to doing his reserve time? Believe me, you're really a screw up when a fellow officer reports you. AS USUAL, you're full of CRAP! Klipsch out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 You should try to rise above your hate, Jazzie. Flynn wanted to have a drink with a buddy and as far as I know, one does not have to serve in the military for that. It's clear that you are trying to impress a certain member of this forum, but all you're really doing is showing your true nature. Klipsch out.

Parrot Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I can't imagine why you're reading it at all. I guess you must find me fascinating. Then I guess you have to post in it because you find yourself fascinating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
