Moved. Get your reads down, chief.
At least Lurch was in Vietnam, but not in Cambodia. Fortunately, the dementia patient didn't exaggerate his inauguration crowd, so we have that going for us. Accuracy about your inauguration crowd is a voting issue for wine moms like the dazzler.

On to the other claims …
Sources such as the Washington Post, Boston Herald and Associated Press have quoted Kerry over the years saying on the Senate floor in 1986 as part of a speech against giving aid to the Nicaraguan contras: "I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting in a gunboat in Cambodia. I remember what it was like to be shot at by Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge and Cambodians, and have the president of the United States tell the American people I was not there; the troops were not in Cambodia. I have the memory which is seared - seared - in me. … "
Various sources, including "Unfit for Command," a book refuting many of Kerry's stories, contended that the candidate was never in Cambodia at Christmas and the president to which he referred in 1968 - Nixon - was not even sworn into office until January 1969. The authors, John O'Neill and Jerome Corsi, quoted three of five of Kerry's crewmen who denied that their boat was ever in Cambodia.
