Kerry Flips – Cambodia

In an Oct. 14, 1979, letter to the editor of the Boston Herald, Kerry wrote: “I remember spending Christmas Eve of 1968 five miles across the Cambodian border being shot at by our South Vietnamese allies who were drunk and celebrating Christmas. The absurdity of almost being killed by our own allies in a country in which President Nixon claimed there were no American troops was very real.”
Kerry, a senator from Massachusetts, also talked about his experience during a speech on the Senate floor on March 27, 1986. “I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting on 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 telling the American people that I was not there; the troops were not in Cambodia,” Kerry said.
In Kerry’s book, Tour of Duty, he changes the story to “near the Cambodian border in a town called Sa Dec”.
Here’s a map of where Sa Dec is, it’s not even close to Cambodia.
If that’s not enough to convince you there’s something very fishy here, try this:
During the 1979 letter, Kerry complains of Nixon lying to the country telling people he wasn’t even there while he was getting shot at by drunk South Vietnamese soldiers during Chritmas 1968.
Nixon took office in January, 1969.
