Stolen Honor

I’ve seen the excerpts of the soon to be released documentary Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal. As NR’s Kate O’Beirne puts it,

If the powerful documentary featuring highly decorated Vietnam POWs recounting how Lieutenant (jg) John Kerry's antiwar activity affected them was seen by the huge audience it deserves, Massachusetts's junior senator wouldn't get elected to a sanitation commission…13 POWs, whose cries of pain, defiance, and despair went unheard during their hellish captivity, share their stories about the betrayal they felt when a fellow officer claimed American forces were guilty of widespread war crimes.

Sounds like the big-screen version of Unfit for Command. Which is still, BTW, atop the New York Times bestseller list by several parsecs.

Synergy never hurts, after all.
