Let's not go overboard---the rivers he patrolled were in the jungle. Kerry's told enough real whoppers that we don't have to reach like this.

"Let's not go overboard..."
Big difference between going up the Mekong in a swiftboat and hacking your way through the jungle with a machete. This fool would have to be 267 years old to have done all he claims to have done.

Let's not go overboard---the rivers he patrolled were in the jungle I don't deny he was on a river in the jungle. The passage in the book, to someone who did not know he was on a Swift boat, would think he was in the middle of the jungle, hand to hand. How do you think a vet who did fight hand to hand would feel about his tale??????

"Let's not go overboard---the rivers he patrolled were in the jungle." Now I'm beginning to understand. John Kerry is a sort of combination of Davy Crockett the Indian figher and his arch nemesis, Riverboat Captain Mike Fink. Wadda man. Still, I just don't see Crockett, had he lived, going back to the Alamo and throwing his coonskin cap over the wall.

He claimed he committed atrocities, including burning villages, lopping off heads, etc.
The first thing I thought was, 'I thought he was on a boat??'
