FOXNews.com - You Decide 2004 - Critic Blasts Kerry Film Footage
Apparently, there are several people who are saying and have said in the past that some of the 8mm video footage that Kerry had shot of himself in Vietnam is re-enacted. This one quote sort of sums it up:
Their complaints, however, are not new. Story of re-enacted video first emerged in 1996 when the Boston Globe wrote that the film “reveals something indelible about the man who shot them ? the tall, thin, handsome Naval officer seen striding through the reeds in flak jacket and helmet, holding aloft the captured B-40 rocket. The young man so unconscious of risk in the heat of battle, yet so focused on his future ambitions that he would re-enact the moment for film. It is as if he had cast himself in the sequel to the experience of his hero, John F. Kennedy, on the PT-109.”
