"In the military, loyalty between commanders and the troops serving them is a two-way street. We have here a guy (Kerry) that with all of us in the field [in Vietnam] -- actually fighting the North Vietnamese -- came home and then falsely accused all of us of war crimes at a time when the people in uniform couldn't even respond," O'Neill said.
So they are mad about his anti war efforts and what he sad about war crimes. That's what this is all about... politics again. I didn't see anything about his ability as a leader or what he did while in Vietnam when fullfilling his service.
IMO, Kerry's anti war efforts are a big plus, not a negative.
