Kudos to Don Feder on "John Kerry's Judgment" (SCAN, April/May). Unfortunately he did not go quite deep enough. In his 1971 testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Kerry not only accused his fellow servicemen of doing all the horrible things that Feder highlights, but also said that the government made these men do them. Not a hint of personal or leadership responsibility at the small unit level, just blame for the entire government.
I am a former Marine infantry officer who fought in Vietnam. I saw none of the rape and pillaging or drug use that Kerry laid on all of us.
Putting someone with the mindset of John Kerry in the White House would be dangerous. His plea for a unilateral withdrawal from Vietnam in 1971 echoes his call for essentially the same thing now in Iraq. Considering the prospects of Kerry in our Executive Office, Osama bin Laden must be dancing with his cane.

Don Feder's analysis of John Kerry's motives is like Maureen Dowd's analysis of George W. Bush's. Mr. Feder should try not to be as hysterical as the New York Times.
Karl Zinsmeister's detailed and flank reporting of the Iraq war ("The Guerilla War," April/May) is the best war reporting since Guadalcanal Diary. I have a son-in-law in Iraq and two grandsons being prepared to go. We need to understand what our sons and daughters face.
