Swift Boats Never Made It Into Cambodia

One of my friends is a Democrat, a John Kerry supporter … and a Viet Nam vet. He was one of those guys who would go out into the boonies with the local tribesmen and mix it up for days or weeks at a time.

He also says that he was one of those who were sent out to recon Cambodia prior to our incursion into that country. What surprised the hell out of me was this: after defending Kerry’s Viet Nam experiences, his medals and his story, he e-mailed me that to his personal knowledge, no Swift Boats ever went into Cambodia.

This is further proof that Kerry was lying about “Christmas in Cambodia” as well as the revised “January in Cambodia” that is currently being peddled.

To the question: why does this man still defend Kerry? Well, that requires too deep an exploration of this man’s psyche for me.
