But do they all stick by Kerrys statement to the Congress that he committed atrocities. If Kerry was lying about that , then he painted them with the same brush he painted himself with.
I haven't heard a thing to dispute this. It's the medals and the early out and the Senate testimony.
Steve Gardner was on his crew, and he detests sKerry. Tonight on Scarbourough he tore J'f arse to bits. Hurley the horse sKerry rode in on was devastated by Gardner, he is no wuss puss and takes no crap.
I think that explanation is too simple. Kerry served with most of them less than two months. Steve Gardner mentioned on a radio show interview that Kerry was not liked. He related the story of how one fellow crewmember ( a friend of Gardner's) became a Kerry supporter. He said that the guy couldn't stand Kerry on the boat, but that Kerry had called him and convinced him to support him.
Kerry was not close to any of the crew members until the 1996 campaign. He initiated getting them together then and now. They are political props who are being paid off one way or another. I have no doubt they enjoyed getting medals, but Kerry was a loner then and is pretty much the same now in the Senate. The idea that people form such close bonds after serving together for a number of weeks is nonsense. Kerry's BOB are manufactured just like the rest of his resume.
According to Gardner who served more than 2 months with Kerry, he was not a good skipper. And his officer peers thought he was terrible as an OIC. Unfit for Command goes into great detail about his leadership skills or lack thereof.
