Did John Forbes Kerry Write His After-Action Reports?

The liberals always claim that he didn't, or at least there's "no evidence" that he did.

Well, there is some evidence. In the form of John Forbes Kerry's 1971 (close to the events) recollection:

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's 1971 testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee reveals that the then anti-war activist admitted to writing many of the battle reports during his four months of combat in Vietnam.

Kerry told the committee on April 22, 1971, "...I can recall often sending in the spot reports which we made after each mission..."

Kerry also said that many in the military had "a tendency to report what they want to report and see what they want to see."

Kerry also said that many in the military had "a tendency to report what they want to report and see what they want to see."

In chapter 4 of Unfit For Command, there's an account of Kerry's boat mistaking a sampan containing a family for armed VC. They opened fire and killed a father and young son. The mother and another child were still alive in the sampan. Kerry's write up claimed 2 confirmed VC kills, 4 possible VC kills, and 2 VC captured.
