LOL!

I absolutely agree with Cowan's point about his fellow officers and former chain of command being the best source as to his performance. That would be true for the Army as well. Certainly a better source than green, low-ranking sailors who only saw Kerry for a couple of months. Their view of him probably would have a lot to do with what kind of discipline he enforced.

Just like any job interview, we should hear from his 'managers' about his 'past job performance', not his subordinates. Since he has made his 'job' in Vietnam the main touchpoint for his so-called personality, their input is essential.

And, as I'm sure you concur, the fact that his entire local chain of command and his relief have publicly denounced him is especially striking. That just doesn't happen. Military officers just don't do that. Unless there is something seriously wrong.

I'm beginning to believe that there is something seriously wrong with LT (j.g.) Kerry. Not that I was going to vote for the SOB to begin with, but now I'm inspired to do all I lawfully can to prevent him from reaching the Presidency.

And on this point, here's something for the Research Division, How many of Kerry's "Band of Brothers" are professional military, as opposed to his detractors?

Anybody have a head count of how many guys served under Kerry (on his boat) during the 4 months, as opposed to those who served with him (officers & crew of other boats in the same area, along with officers up Kerry's chain of command)? Were all the guys who appeared onstage in Boston (other than Rasmussen) members of Kerry's crew? Is it possible that that group represents nearly everybody who was on Kerry's boat (crew or passenger) at any time during the 4 months? I've read that most of K's crew support him while his peers and superior officers oppose him.

Brit should put Lt Col Cowan against Susan Estrich and let her spin that the swiftboats vets did not serve with Kerry so the Col could set her straight for once and for all
