On May 27, 2016, US President Barack Obama paid a visit to Hiroshima to offer respects to the victims of the atomic bomb the United States dropped on the city in 1945. It is said that this brief but historic visit was made possible by the efforts made by US Secretary of State John Forbes Kerry. Young Kerry, who served as a military officer in the Vietnam War, went through the traumatic experiences of killing 13 children and women. He even attempted to kill himself more than 30 times, suffering from overwhelming feeling of guilt and repentance. My presentation is to talk about these less well-known episodes of his experiences and trauma and his seemingly extreme activities as one of the leaders of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), and thereby to examine how such experiences and activities of his own influenced Obama’s foreign diplomacy.
