What instantly discredits the validity of the the so-called Swift Boats for Truth accusations is that not a single one of them served with Kerry. Each man who did serve with Kerry is on stage supporting him for president.
Additionally, political favorites like John McCain are in an uproar over their bullshit. We all know that Kerry served, that he earned the medals he earned, and that those who fought side by side with him admire him.
The distinction between Bush's record during Veitnam and Kerry's are extreme. You can look at the very basic points: Bush didn't volunteer for combat, Kerry did. Bush didn't fire a shot in anger, Kerry did. Bush was never wounded, Kerry was. Bush was never decorated, Kerry was. Bush dissappeared for months, while Kerry fought.
Additionally, Bush has continued to dodge the issue of what he did while he disappeared and the records of his whereabouts along with other records that would clarfiy why he wasn't disciplined have disappeared. Kerry has laid his life on the table and is proud of his service.
It's the classic dirty tricks campaign that Bush is running. But when we sit down and study the facts we see that, man for man, Kerry is the better man, and he is the better patriot. Because while Bush was ditching service Kerry was fighting. While Bush was AWOL Kerry was wounded. While Bush was drummed out of the service Kerry was decorated.
It's as simple as that. One man did a man's job. The other man staid at home like the coward he was.
Oh, and here's how the wackos decided to treat McCain after he called them on their bullshit:
http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=39892"Americans are supposed to respect Sen. John McCain because he is a war hero. But is he? And why is he so determined to defend John Kerry's dishonorable activities during and after the Vietnam War?"
and
"Now let me begin by saying McCain suffered greatly during his five years of captivity in the "Hanoi Hilton." But his horrific experiences do not entitle him to stretch the truth about his captivity at the hands of North Vietnamese Communists, nor to deceive Americans about his bravery and heroism.
When the Navy pilot was shot down over a lake near Hanoi, his captors did not know who he was ? John McCain, son of the admiral in charge of the Pacific fleet. McCain was seriously injured in his ejection and in need of medical attention. In exchange for what passes as first-class care in Vietnam, McCain talked. He told the North Vietnamese about his father. He told them about the chain of command. He described himself as one of the "very best pilots" in the Navy.
Such behavior by a POW is strictly frowned upon in the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the military code of conduct."
Wow. I guess their must be something very wrong with the US NAVY. To big fat fucking lairs have been given medals and ultimately ended up being US Senators. AND they lie to cover each other's backs.
Here's my favorite:
"Worse yet, many years later, when both John McCain and John Kerry were serving in the U.S. Senate, they teamed up to betray the families of the POWs and MIAs in favor of sucking up to the murderous Communist Vietnamese regime."
Right. God, sometimes I wish there really was a Hell so that bastards like this would get their comeupance. I'm talking about the traitors McCain and Kerry, of course.
