Wlady, perhaps your cynicism (or is it realism?) is well placed and the Vietnam story was meant to soften the blow of his Keating Five apology. You are right that his Vietnam story is not in essence an "I did something wrong" story although it generally falls into the category of "wow if I had done it differently.." recollections. I'd like to think he was being candid for a moment or self-reflecting but maybe that is naive. Now if was really being honest he would have said something about how he regretted not watching his own campaign's finances.
