Do you apologize about the SwiftVet lies now that Commander Elliot has retracted his claims and admitted it was a terrible mistake to slander Kerry?

Elliot had to retract his statements after he went back and read some of the glowing fitness reports which were written concerning LTJG Kerry when he commanded a swift boat on the Mekong Dleta. He would have looked silly if he hadn't. Here is one.
_______________

Nov 28 1969
In a combat environment often requiring independent, decisive action LTJG Kerry was unsurpassed. He constantly reviewed tactics and lessons learned in river operations and applied his experience at every opportunity. On One occasion while in tactical command of a three boat operation his units were taken under fire from ambush, LTJG Kerry rapidly assessed the situation and ordered his units to turn directly into the ambush. This decision resulted in routing the attackers with several enemy KIA.

LTJG Kerry emerges as the acknowledged leader in his peer group. His bearing and appearance are above reproach, he has of his own violation learned the Vietnamese language and is instrumental in the successful Vietnamese training program.

During the period of this report LTJG Kerry has been awarded the Silver Star Medal, the Bronze Star Medal, the Purple Heart Medal (2nd and 3rd awards).
