Re: I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers
[ QUOTE ]
All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare, all of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions and all of this is 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.

You left out this part, he is criticizing the US goverment, not the soldiers.
This whole thing is just really sad. I heard someone say that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth have a right to their own opinions, but they do not have a right to their own facts. They could have made a convincing case against John Kerry without debasing themselves and distorting the truth.
