Unclewest, I'm going to tell auntiwest if you don't stop making stuff up. So far I know of a few men who served under Kerry who support him and 24 who served under him and with him who oppose him. You missed some news. But you will get to see it again. Here are the facts as I know them and as outlined by the author that did extensive research for his book on Kerry: First, there was only one man who served under Kerry who had anything negative to say about him. The rest of the men, to the surprise of the author, were of one voice when it came to their assessment that Kerry was cool under fire, had good judgement and was a fine officer. Second, the "24" are, I believe, almost all men who served in the Swift boat units but not under Kerry. Don't believe what you want to believe when the facts are there for your edification. And, by the way, Kerry was dead on right when he testified to the atrocities that were occurring in Vietnam during 69-70. That sticks in the craw of the 24 but they had no right to expect the American public to be hidden from the truth when the war was an out-of-control clusterf-ck and men were dying in droves.
