The Swift Boat VETS are back!

A tip of the Semper Fi hat to "TARTANMarine" for this heads-up.

I read the book the Swift Boat Veterans put out during the 2004 election cycle.
The Swift Boat Vets pointed out the bogus medals , in their and my opinion, that John Kerry was "awarded" mostly by writing up the recommendations for himself during his two months of actual active duty while in the Navy Reserves serving in Vietnam. At least he is consistent. His commanding officers in Vietnam thought he was a royal pain in the A--, and kicked him on to another unit as quickly as they could get rid of him.

The Swift boat vets also pointed out his traitorous acts while still in the Navy Reserve by negotiating with the North Vietnamese in Paris as well as the bald face lying that characterized his and the "Winter Soldiers" testimony when he first ran for office. Many of the "soldiers" had never served in Vietnam, or even been in the Armed Forces.

The whole thing about Sen Kerry's service record could have been settled by him with a simple request to the Navy to release ALL of his service records. He has never done this, though he promised to do so during the campaign. He has released only those records he himself approved, not his complete records. Recently. a million dollar bet rides on his release of his comlete records and the Swift Vets proving their case.

The lead link above takes you to a site about the new book by the Swift Boat vets who worked with LT. Kerry during his short tour of duty and brings it up to date with their new book "To Set the Record Straight"
