Five Facts About John Kerry in Vietnam
1) To the best of anyone’s knowledge, John Forbes Kerry was the only Swift Boat sailor to be reassigned under Navy Instruction 1300.39 during the entire war.

2) Of the twenty officers shown with Kerry in a famous photo, only two openly support John Kerry for President while eleven have signed a letter questioning his fitness to be Commander-in Chief.
 
3) In testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971, John Kerry claimed that, American soldiers had “personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from 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.”
 
4) The first wound for which John Kerry received a Purple Heart was treated with a band-aid.  Kerry’s commander at the time of the incident denied his request for a medal, but somehow one was awarded for the incident some three months later.

5) In 1971 John Kerry personally flew to Paris and contacted the negotiators for the Vietnamese Communists.  Afterwards he called for the United States to accept all demands made by the Communists, including leaving behind US prisoners of war until such a time as the Communists decided to release them.
