Are these 35 men named any where? When you have the folks that actually served with Kerry standing up at the convention for him, that pretty much negates folks that did not serve with him and probably have a political axe to grind. I think we should look deep into these 35 men's careers. Something doesn't add up. The guys with Kerry love him...and the guys that were not with him hate him. Sounds like the republican dirty brush at work again. Orca

Those swiftboaters are deliberate LIARS. 13 out of 15 of the surviving swift boaters who served with Kerry were on the stage last night with him. Another one is the one who killed the civilians and hates Kerry because he was severaly reprimanded by him. There is one other guy I'm not sure about. The swift boat people you're talking about are Bushies who might have happened to serve in the same theater of war, that's all. None of them actually fought with Kerry and I'll bet almost none of them even met him, knew him or knew anything about him until he challenged Nixon to end the war. Therefore, their argument comes down to WAS VIETNAM RIGHT OR WRONG? History has proven by nwo that it was wrong, dead wrong. Never wage wars based on lies, that's the lesson. Kerry was one of the few who had the courage to stand up for veterans and challenge the commander in chief who as we now know turned out to be a big liar, Nixon that is. LBJ before him was also guilty. You should see McNamara's documentary film THE FOG OF WAR to get an idea of the reality of the legions of lies and overkill in that war. It was a low point in US history.
