Did you see the clips on Fox? They were pretty brief, but they looked to me like they were from Kerry campaign events/speeches. I just don't understand why, given that Kerry in 1971 so notoriously claimed all these atrocities, these veterans would, in 1996, state their defense of veterans at a Kerry campaign event. I can understand if they had spoken out then in a different forum, but to combine their rebuttal to atrocity claims (when the most famous of those claims had come from John Kerry) with support of John Kerry at Kerry's campaign event makes no sense to me. I mean, I assume John Kerry wouldn't feature veterans at his campaign events to show what a liar he was in 1971. So what am I missing? Did I misunderstand the clips I saw? I thought the Fox commentators were fairly clear that these veterans had supported Kerry's bids for office in the past. I hope there is an explanation for this seeming inconsistency which will prevent it from detracting from the importance of the news conference.
