The Red Pill

John Kerry accused himself of being a war criminal. And this man is running for President of the United States???
From the April 18, 2004 transcript of Meet the Press.

Kerry mentioned Vietnam five times. As it turns out, he served there. Russert played a clip from an earlier Kerry appearance on "Meet the Press," on April 18, 1971, then asked him about it:

Kerry: There are all kinds of atrocities and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free-fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50-caliber machine guns which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took part in search-and-destroy missions, in the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare. All of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions and all of this ordered as a matter of written established policy by the government of the United States from the top down. And I believe that the men who designed these, the men who designed the free-fire zone, the men who ordered us, the men who signed off the air raid strike areas, I think these men, by the letter of the law, the same letter of the law that tried Lieutenant Calley, are war criminals.
