These swift boat veterans against Kerry need to get their story straight. Was John Kerry specifically asked to leave Vietnam by his OITC, or was it Kerry's own idea? The book excerpt paints the situation as Kerry's cowardly way to avoid further combat, taken under his own initiative.

Whether Kerry made use of questionable/fraudulent purple hearts to get Stateside, or was asked to leave Vietnam by his superiors reflects very poorly on him, whichever is true. I just want one story coming out about what happened.

Whenever I read posts like this (which I happen to agree with) I always feel a bit jealous of the "other side".

If the roles were reversed, none of these questions would be raised. It would be a constant parade of these Swift Boat vets on every alphabet network, in every timeslot - from "not-so-perky-anymore" Katie, to Larry "journalistic-vision-thru-Coke-Bottles" King

You bet it would EVERYWHERE! Just look at Kristen Breitwieser the WTC wife who hates Bush. She is on for any excuse!
