John Kerry served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War, where he was assigned to the Brown Water Navy, a force that operated in the coastal and riverine waters of Vietnam. He commanded a swift boat (PCF-94), conducting patrols, engaging in combat operations, and participating in search-and-destroy missions against Viet Cong forces. Kerry's experiences in the Brown Water Navy significantly influenced his later political career and his outspoken opposition to the Vietnam War.
What else can I help you with?
Was John Kerry former navy seal a murderer?
Absolutely not. He and his men were involved in an operation, in the night, with no more than 8 guys together (standard operations) Ready to fire, hopefully first, but if second, all out unloading. Remember that Navy Seals in Vietnam were on there own basically (except for the water, we are frogmen). They received fire first (not the objective) and unloaded. Who was killed is a matter that those guys must carry in their hearts. Did they do anything wrong, NO. This would have happen 1000 out of 1000 times for any SEAL Operators. Obviously they were not playing a game, and didnt come there to die. The John Kerry tha that I am refering to is not the guy who ran for president. That Kerry was not a Navy Seal. He is a Senator, but not that one. Dont think that the poser John Kerry would make a pimple on the former Navy Seals butt.
