Doug, that is my point. I did not mean to imply that others have no right to an opinion on the subject in general. They do and I defend that right. But those that postulate on motive, or seek to attack his works since without the perspective of the experience lack credibility. Kerry has made no attempt to hide this, and the fact that a different member of the team remembers it differently really have no bearing. Those perspectives, too, are colored by the dyes of a 1000 life experiences. If the objective is to learn from the past, fine. If it is an attempt to tear down an honorable man living with experiences from this time in his life, that is not fine. Kerry is a warrior of the first order, with a social conscience. He, like many of us, got caught up in something that exposed us to experiences and reactions that we would give anything to get shet of.
