Won't cut it

Ben Shapiro on why Four months in Vietnam won't cut it"
John Kerry was anti-war before he ever set foot in Vietnam, so the idea that he became pacifistic only after seeing the horrors of war is baloney.
. . .
In his nomination acceptance speech, Kerry referred to his Vietnam service no fewer than eight times. He didn't refer to his 1971 testimony before Congress once.
. . .
But the fact remains that had Kerry not defamed American troops, he would be an obscure war veteran, not a presidential candidate. To ignore this essential element of Kerry's history is to overlook his opportunism.

Text of Kerry's testimony from C-SPAN site.
Complete testimony, including Q and A.
