this has less to do with Vietnam as it does with Kerry's mental fitness and delusions supposedly "seared into his soul" and recanted as recently as 2003

That's right. The Swift boat veterans are not disputing his service, they are disputing how he (a) put in for medals he didnt deserve by embellishing what happened and (b) how he made claims (like "Christmas in Cambodia") that werent true, and (c) how he made post-war claims about 'war crimes' and atrocities among swift boat operations that was false and libelous. Along the way, though, they highlight that Kerry seems to have been out for himself from day one, disputing his official story of a changed man after his service ... So the question is

HONESTY
