It's not that some veterans are calling him a liar. It's they are lying when they call him a liar and in effect are admitting they are lying. Below is what Commander Elliot said about John Kerry when he wrote one of Kerry's monthly fitness reports in 1969. He said John Kerry was the leader in his peer group. Was he lying then or was he lying when he made different statements recently? There are other fitness reports in PDF form which can be seen at johnkerry.com by Elliot and others. All of them speak very highly of John Kerry, none of them say anything like what the swift boat veterans are saying now. This proves that the swift boat veterans are lying and not basing their comments on what went on in Vietnam. They are simply junior backers who will do or say anything which the feel might convince others to vote for the neocons. __________________________ 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). Elliot
