"This is going to be THE Dem/Lib line of attack against the Swift vets. There heros, they served their country well, but they're lying about "serving" with John Kerry because they weren't on their boat."

I think you have hit the nail on the head here. If the other vets weren't on the same boat as Kerry, they didn't serve "with him" and therefore are lying. This is just more of "it depends upon what the word 'is' is".

That's why the Swift vets NEED to get ahead of this with their use of language and specific descriptive words like "Wingman".
