"Reports written by Kerry" Standard procedure is for each officer on each boat to write a report. Strange that Kerry's would be the only one to be taken. If there were discrepancies, they would have been noticed. Unless you assume that he then let Kerry write his report... He must have been exceptionally clever.

The official military records confirm Kerry's representation. Reports written by Kerry, or at a minimum with a lot of input by Kerry "confirm" Kerry side of the story. I'm not endorsing the Swiftvets side but you'll need more than that to get me to endorse Kerry's side. No one is asking you too. Just stop financing the liars. His boat mates except one confirm his representation. So one person in his boat disagrees with him, and dozens to hundreds who served in boats around him don't. Not very solid evidence. Did you not read the article that I posted where the names of guys on the letter condemning Kerry were used without their permission? The swifties are partisan slime trying desperately to discredit a war hero. They're pathetic! Not that I would expect there to be solid evidence, I wouldn't say that the lack of prove for Kerry's opinions constitutes evidence for the other side. It really isn't what Kerry did in Vietnam that bothers me its what he did after it. He fought against a war he didn't believe in....there is no crime or dishonor in that fact. ted
