> Well, I got to spend time with some Swift Boat guys who served with him, and they told me all I needed to know...
I was transferred from the swift boat base in QuiNhon to the swift boat base in CatLo where Kerry served and arrived there 3 or 4 weeks after he departed. I never met him, but the guys there told me horror stories about him.
Thanks for serving, BuffaloJack. I met up with a bunch of them outside Walter Reed with the DC Chapter back at one of the Gathering Of Eagles (maybe 2007?)
They told me how he showed up at one of their reunions wearing a bomber jacket expecting to be the center of attention...but the general consensus (and you could clearly hear it their voices) was that he was a pompous, no-load, douchebag.
A special kudos to those men who could have just sat on their butts in their comfortable homes and let that POS get elected, but...they didn’t.
I am sure they would have preferred not to have to become well known in that fashion, but they did it. I think they saved us from the Horror Show of a President Kerry. Men like them (and you) have the respect and gratitude of many around this country, and not just for your service, but for that torpedoing of that scummy POS.
