Don't you mean Kampuchea? Kerry worked so hard for the name change.

"John Kerry was in Vietnam?"
That seems to be the concensus opinion but, given Leftist philosophy, there really is no such thing as reality or truth.

America owes more to this demi-god than mere mortals can express.

The motor boat was ferrying 19 people on the Bang River... Hey, I've been on that river...(or did I do that on a river...hmmmm...jeeez...can't remember).
Anyway, does 'ferrying 19 people on the Bang River' mean they were converting them to homosexuality?!
To: Shaun_MD
Are we sure that Kerry wasn't there, reliving his wartime heroics/atrocities?
