Great idea...................I'm in the Midwest, but I KNOW that the Washington Times is excerpting "Unfit for Command" in three parts......it certainly would make sense that a national newspaper could take advantage of both proximity and experience to get these records, publicly available, to get the information to prove or disprove what we ALL want to know. I also will send this information to my list of media contacts,(asap!!!!)..............and invite anyone who hasn't already to do the same!!!!!! ;^)
I have despised Kerry since 1971, for what he did to the reputation of Vn Vets wholesale......IMO he is WORSE than even Hanoi Jane because he is one of us...........then he threw fuel on the fire in 1992 with regard to the known-alive POW's, with McCains help.
Now......about his being a bemedalled hero.....his dog-and-pony show consists of a dozen, some of which were assigned to his boat(s) for short periods.....I can't help but wonder if this schemer didn't phony up some recommendations for medals and post-action reports for those who served on his boat (perhaps even some NOT on his boat or even in the Navy------Rassman (Army) claims he was the one who recommended Kerry for the Silver).....this might explain the difference between the dozen and the vast majority of those present during the times in question.......of one thing we can be certain-----kerry went to the swiftboat div armed with opportunism.....and if the full truth is documented, he will hopefully bear the stink he has earned in so many ways.
200+ Swiftboat Veterans are not lying in unison-----but a dozen or so might be suffering from a convenient lapse in memory.
