None he knows? You aren't reading! "Of the nine surviving crewmen, seven, including Mr. Sandusky, have made campaign appearances for Mr. Kerry. Another, Mr. Sandusky said, supports Mr. Kerry but wants nothing to do with politics. The crew has lost touch with the remaining man. ...This is not the first time Vietnam veterans have come to Mr. Kerry's aid... Vietnam veterans were furious. They formed a group known as the Doghunters... [and] Again, in 1996, when a Boston Globe column attacked Mr. Kerry...his shipmates and other veterans, including his former admiral, came to his defense. Douglas Brinkley, a historian ...interviewed hundreds of veterans and was struck by their support for Mr. Kerry's candidacy... Mr. Kerry's war record was examined in great detail by Mr. Brinkley for his book. He had access to Mr. Kerry's voluminous wartime correspondence and diaries; he also conducted interviews with other swift boat personnel, including the crews of Mr. Kerry's two boats. "I thought I would find dissension in the ranks," Mr. Brinkley said. "Most of them are Republicans. But they all vouched for Kerry in such a singularly high fashion."

ROFL he said a bit more than that (imo of course, based on what he said), but if you really want to believe that is all he said, I won't post any more on this- last words are yours if you want them. If someone on a side you disagree with had said anything analogous, I wonder if you wouldn't feel a bit more than that was said...

Wellll, not exactly true, Gina: Message 19858821 "The third issue that is of concern to all veterans is Kerry's long anti-defense voting record." And my personal favorite: I have bad news for you. Those long-haired hippies wearing dirty fatigue jackets who support Kerry are not veterans. I am an active member of the military and veteran community. I have seen absolutely no support for Kerry anywhere. Message 19858794 I think you might owe X and E (and maybe even unclewest!) an apology. I've heard that even trolls apologize. ;-)
