"Humor me what is it that kerry was supposed to have done or not done while he served?" Regarding the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth? They are about far more than Kerry's service. Even so, they raised serious questions about his capacity to be President based only on his time in the service. To me, it's more about what he did after he served. The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth brought up serious questions about Kerry's character regarding his anti-war activities. You'll have to decide for yourself if anything they have stated has any merit or not. At least you have internet access to learn about what they are about. It seems that most major media aren't interested in 200+ vets, many with first hand knowledge, who hold a Press Conference & raise serious questions about one of their own, who just happens to be a Presidential Candidate. It wouldn't have anything to do with that liberal media bias, now would it? :-\

The Swift Boat Veterans all served alongside Kerry during every mission he went on. They explained yesterday that when the boats went out there were always four or five boats together, 25 to 50 yards from each other. Every Swift Boat commander that served on a boat alongside Kerry, many of the crew members, every commanding officer, and even one man from Kerry's crew. And none of them ever saw the atrocities Kerry says he witnessed. So he's a God damned liar. They said he lied to further his political career. And that it caused them a lot of difficulty in life, because people believed it. He humiliated them. He degraded them. Their families questioned them. Some men committed suicide due to the shame. Their deaths should be on his conscience, if he had one. Not only that, but his commanding officers said he was unfit to serve as commander in chief because he was unreliable as an officer, vain, proud, unwilling to follow orders, a loose cannon, and in need of constant supervision.
