At least three of the Swiftees who campaigned with Kerry admitted to Steve they were bought and highly paid for by Democrat Operatives. They tried to encourage him to join them "It will be made worth your while Steve!"...

"For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Jesus Christ, circa AD 30

There are some things money can't buy. Self respect and character come to mind. Gardner has those 2 qualities in spades, and we, the people of the US, are in his debt. First for serving our nation 35 years ago in SE Asia, and again for helping prevent the unmitigated disaster that a Kerry administration would have been.

But it is very disappointing that 8 other veterans chose to take money in exchange for their honor and self respect. I have to wonder if those men do not sometimes wake up in the middle of the night disgusted by the realization of what they have allowed themselves to become, i.e., bought and paid for liars.

I only hope that at least a few of them have enough decency left to now admit what they did, and publicly expose the fraudulent "war hero" Kerry and his billionaire backers for the despicable human debris they actually are.

While those basal eight still have a breath in them there's a hope they could redeem themselves of this calumny. By admitting the deed, apologizing and doing what they can do recitify it. Give Steve back his good name in those many quarters they slandered it.
