I'll say, to murder villages of unarmed civilians. He's a self-admitted war 
criminal.

Yep, to shoot unarmed civilians.

"(Audiotape, April 18, 1971): 
MR. CROSBY NOYES (Washington Evening Star): Mr. Kerry, you said at one time 
or another that you think our policies in Vietnam are tantamount to 
genocide and that the responsibility lies at all chains of command over 
there. Do you consider that you personally as a Naval officer committed 
atrocities in Vietnam or crimes punishable by law in this country? 

KERRY: There are all kinds of atrocities, and I would have to say that, 
yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other 
soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free fire 
zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50 calibre 
machine guns, which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only 
weapon against people. I took part in search and destroy missions, in the 
burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare, all of 
this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions and all of this is ordered as a 
matter of written established policy by the government of the United States 
from the top down. And I believe that the men who designed these, the men 
who designed the free fire zone, the men who ordered us, the men who signed 
off the air raid strike areas, I think these men, by the letter of the law, 
the same letter of the law that tried Lieutenant Calley, are war criminals.
