Kerry Was a 'Loose Cannon' While in Vietnam, Says Ex-Commander -- 05/04/2004: "He arrived in country with a strong anti-Vietnam War bias and a self-serving determination to build a foundation for his political future,' Hoffmann said. 'He was aggressive, but vain and prone to impulsive judgment, often with disregard to specific tactical assignments. He was a loose cannon.
