If I read the story correctly, he's correcting his statement about being in Cambodia during Christmas.  He's now saying it was January.  However, no matter what day he was "in" there, there would be documentation recording troop movements, even in secret missions across the boarder.  It would be easily to verify this, if someone just petitions the Pentagon to release mission records.  

Funny this is though, hardly anyone who currently supporting Kerry as his "band of brothers" has come out and say "oh yeah, we were there too."  Hmmmm

I think its a sign of his credibility.  If he can't be honest about himself and his life, how can we trust him to be honest with our country and our lives?

Now true, we all tend to embellish on our stories over time, but like they say, when you tell a lie long enough, you start believing it.

JNB,

Does it hurt to be informed?  

lidaker,

We don't know if he is or not.  However, if he is, he probably did it to make himself sound more important, especially considering how short of a stay he had in theatre as well as his anti-war movement following his return.

That's what is so great about being an arm-chair politician as we all are.  We can look at these things and examine them in ways the candidates can't . . . at least not publicly.

I'm just saying that just because Kerry has made his courage and sacrifice for his country a theme of his campaign, that doesn't make every detail of his time in Vietnam a relevant campaign issue.  

Kerry is trying to establish the basic credentials for a commander in chief.  

Sure it does, since that is all he is campaigning on outside of the A.B.B. platform.  What are the Republicans suppose to do?  Sit down and spin their thumbs around waiting for him to come up with some detailed plans for what he'd like to do if he were to be elected?  They'd be waiting till Nov 1st at the current rate Kerry's going.  

Since Kerry has wrapped himself in his limitted (and suspicious) VN experience, while keeping silent on his anti-VN years or his lousy years in Congress, his 4 months in theatre are fair game.

It's just another Kerry "faulty recollection."  hehehe . . . can't accuse him for lying now, can I?  Smiley
