This is far better than any speech he's given since. It is, again, indicative of the twisted militarism of American culture today that the litany of war crimes he comments on, all common knowledge by the 1970s, are now held up as objections to his candidacy. But of course: a Presidential candidate who, once in his life, actually spoke truthfully about his nation's criminal butchery is clearly unqualified to hold office.
(Thanks to Matt Davidson for the pointer.)
UPDATE: More on this topic from philosopher Keith DeRose (Philosophy, Yale), whose father served in Vietnam.
