Is there film of Kerry in Vietnam?

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

I seem to remember hearing that Kerry has film of himself and his unit in action in Vietnam? Is this true? If so, you have to admit it will make one hell of a campaign commercial. Do I remember this correctly? Anyone know?

1. So far as I know, yes. (nt)

[JohnKleeb]

2. yeah I am pretty sure

Yea it would be pretty cool.

[arewethereyet]

3. yes, i saw it on TV some months ago

I really couldn't believe it. I guess he had a plan even that far back.

4. It was typical for a unit to have a camera crew in Vietnam right?

Sort of like official embedded journalists?

5. at least in one instance.

Now I expect other GI's had some super-8's to film other sorts of things but we won't be seeing them on national TV.

6. Propoganda Unit

Probably a propaganda unit courtesy of Skull & Bones. JFK OTHER knew he wanted to be president. He had to get his heroic exploits on film ;-)

7. oh, don't be ridiculous, what a crazy conspiracy theory!

All the units in Vietnam had embedded units! Kerry didn't get special treatment because he was so rich.

8. It was shot on the 8mm camera

that he took with him. He'd always been interested in film.

9. I know I've seen a picture

of him in Vietnam, but it looked like just a photograph, not a still from a film.

10. He has film of all his crew. They expected to die at any time.

They wanted to have last expressions of sentiment to their loved ones, just in case.

Remember, Kerry had lost his best friend in Nam at this time. They never knew what moment was to be their last.

11. yeah yeah yeah

Did Kerry win a bronze AND silver star? Was he shot 3 times or was it 4 at one time and still managed to noy only live, but save his men? Pffft...

12. Yah..that was part of the Skull and Bones conspiracy..

OK John...You're going into Viet Nam to prop up your future Presidential campaign and you're going to get shot and almost die when you are there... OK with you?

14. yes, from what I have heard

He went around reenacting skirmishes so they could be video taped. I guess he always knew he would run for office.
