To The Editor:
One person cannot be both a war hero and a war criminal. John Kerry is not a war hero, since he, himself, has admitted that he committed war crimes. On “Meet the Press” on May 6, 2001, Tim Russert played John Kerry an audiotape from April 18, 1971, where Kerry was asked whether he committed war crimes in Vietnam. Kerry’s response, on the 1971 tape, was:
“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-caliber 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. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare, all of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions. . .”
Therefore, having admitted to committing war crimes, it is disingenuous for Kerry to now claim the mantle of “hero.” It is even more disingenuous for the media to keep perpetuating the “hero” myth.

Nailed by his own words.
