"This lawsuit could well be his Waterloo."

You could make my day (Month, year...) by explaining exactly how that might be so :o)

As we know, the bone of contention in these suits is the content of Stolen Honor, which highlights Kerry's anti-American activities. So even though Kerry is using surrogates to go after these vets, questions concerning his past activities during the VN era will be relevant. Witnesses and documents can be subpoenaed and if Kerry found himself compelled to produce his full service record it wouldn't be the first time the ball took a funny bounce in a case like this. Kerry miscalculated before and he could do that again.
