The problem was that when he came back he called those who fought alongside of him baby killers. If he had simply came back and protested the war there would be no controversy. It's that he had to create something that would get him attention and to do that he completely threw his fellow soldiers under the bus.
Gotta give the GOP credit. They certainly stand by their chickenhawks.
John Kerry joined the Navy because his dad told him it would help his future in politics. Kerry assumed that being in the Navy he would never actually be shot at. When the swiftboat program was created, Kerry did everything he could to get get out of Vietnam as fast as possible. THAT is what the swiftboat veterans were complaining about. Kerry trumped up superficial and questionable "wounds" to get out on a technicality. If John Kerry were so "gung-ho" about volunteering to serve, he would never applied for those purple hearts and stayed with his comrades. It is not like he lost a limb and was no longer able to do his job.
Question, "Colonel."
How many Purple Hearts, Silver Stars and Bronze Stars (w/ "V" device) have you earned?

What specifically did Kerry testify to that was not true? And what particularly did he accuse "those who fought alongside of him" of that he did not also take personal responsibility for?
Quotations with links appreciated. Bonus for any actual use by Kerry of the phrase "baby killers."

Those he disparaged with lies which caused them to become objects of scorn when they returned home is well documented and the reason the swift boaters won the most important round with him.
I said I would have voted for him as his lies concerning his fellow soldiers cost him his main goal.
Those discussions were all done before and I'm certainly not interested in dragging them all up again.

Try again. If it is "well documented" then quotations with links should be very easy for you to provide.

No matter who the Obama administration chose to replace Hillary, the right wing echo chamber would go on a bashing frenzy. Truth is, Kerry is extremely qualified for the position, a little fact that never matters to right wing loons. They would support a no nothing grifter such as Sarah Palin to hold an office that is a heartbeat away from the Presidency, but are finding ridiculous and bogus reasons to attack Kerry. Par for the course.
