The Swift Boat people can say whatever they want in response to their feeling that Kerry was fingering US soldiers as war criminals. But that does not give them the right to allege that Kerry himself did not fight bravely in combat. That is an outright lie.

Also note that the people saying that are not men who actually served on Kerry's Swift Boat. It seems reasonable that people who did serve directly under Kerry would know more about his personal military service--which is the issue "Swift Boats for Truth" or whatever they labelled themselves--were attacking.

People who served directly under Kerry acknowledged his bravery. One says Kerry saved his life.

Somehow, I get the idea we're drifting off topic.
