2pid stated dumbly:
Kerry said those who condoned or engaged in such activities were war
criminals.
If the others are prosecuted, then Kerry should be as well.
Odd sentiment. *Sounds like if we can't catch and prosecute all the murderers
then all shall go free.
Spin, spin, spin.
I already gave you the answer:
"The investigators concluded that many of the war crimes indeed took
place.[15] Despite this, the Army decided not to pursue any
prosecutions.[16]"

It happened, just as Kerry said it did. My Lai, and other search and
destroy-type missions, as well as CIA asassinations also happened,
Kerry was right. Get over it, 2pid.
Kerry himself said his speech was "over the top".
I thought you were all about accuracy in quoting, 2pid. He said "a
‘little over the top’’. Even someone with comrehension skills as low
as yours are can see the difference.
That's not a repudiation, which is what you indicated he had done.
Here's what he said:
"Kerry said earlier this year that some of his statements in 1971 were
a ‘‘little over the top’’ but said some military policies in Vietnam
‘‘were not acceptable according to the laws of warfare, and everybody
knows that.’’

(You can also see some of your other favorite saws about Kerry
demolished here.)
Who do you suppose he meant by that?
That he wished he had chosen other, less emotional, or more accurate,
words.
Some things did happen.
Was it as endemic as Kerry stated?
Absolutely not.
I don't see where Kerry said it was.
