Part of Senator John Kerry's appeal to a certain segment of Americans is his Vietnam-veteran status coupled with his antiwar activism during that period. On April 12, 1971, Kerry told the U.S. Congress that American soldiers claimed to him that they had, "raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned on the power, cut off limbs, blew up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan."

So, OS, do you really believe that stuff like this didn't happen in Vietnam? Because the way both sides tell it (and I have some personal friends that were pretty deep in the ****), torture was de rigeur for everybody involved.
Especially true when viewed against events like Mi Lai.
