Umm, is this still his story in later versions?
That is exactly the point.
Kerry was an "internationalist" and pacifist back in 1966, and he never changed his stance. He has been consistent in this. His flip-flops are the result of him trying to pretend that he is pro-national security, when in fact he isn't and his votes in the Senate prove that.
Here is his own memo, where he advocated canceling most of our defense programs.
