Vietnam veterans ask T. Boone Pickens to pay up on Kerry record

Ten men who served in Vietnam with Sen. John Kerry want Dallas billionaire T. Boone Pickens to fork over the $1 million he said he would give anyone who could disprove claims that Swift Boat Veterans for Truth made about Mr. Kerry's war record during the 2004 presidential campaign.
The men sent a lengthy letter and supporting documentation to Mr. Pickens on Thursday.
Mr. Pickens, who helped support the anti-Kerry group, could not be reached for comment Friday night. He has not publicly responded to the letter.
“We are prepared now to come to Texas to see you, or meet somewhere else mutually convenient,” the crewmen wrote. “We are telling you, that we will bring with us a Navy/Pentagon certified copy of Senator Kerry’s full military record and his writings and the movie footage you have requested. We will sit with you while you go through them page for page, frame by frame and answer any questions you may have. We know the truth because we were there on the boat. "

So how did these men get John Effin Kerry's military record, when he never released it publicly? Sounds kinda fishy to me.
Is this the record where private citizen Nixon somehow managed to start calling the shots of the military?
He has released it to a few friendly reporter types. Maybe he's released it to this group as well. But I'll also bet it proves nothing. If it did, SKerry would have released it to the general public before he got kicked to the curb by the electorate.
As I recall, PBRs only had a crew of three or four (plus the officer in charge). If they had ten people on them, they would be in danger of sinking.
PS: I spent the whold year in Cam Rahn Bay...not a half a year like Kerry.

T Boone Pickens should accept nothing from Kerry/ He should only accept records sent straight to him from the Pentagon
