Had I been there, and were there a question and answer period, I would have stood up and said. Mr. Kerry, I study American History but am not an expert.
Let me say that you served in the military in behalf of the U.S.
Benedict Arnold also served in the miltary of what became the U.S. Benedict Arnold, saved what are now the N.E. states in a battle in the now State of New York by riding to the front while wounded and rousing the troops to success.
Benedict Arnold financed out of his own fortune the Great Lakes Navy which led to the states now bordering the great lakes being part of our Nation.
After appealing to the then congress for repayment of his fortune expended in defending this nation and being refused he tried to sell West point, and then finished his life in England the neation we were repelling from.
My question to you sir, is why are you not living in Hanoi???
