If It Wasn't For John Kerry's 1971 Protest Against Vietnam War Would You Be Alive?

[Wild Cobra]

I'm surprised there are still suckers out there that believe Kerry is an honorable human being.


Senator John Kerry has made his 4-month combat tour in Vietnam the centerpiece of his bid for the Presidency. His campaign jets a handful of veterans around the country, and trots them out at public appearances to sing his praises. John Kerry wants us to believe that these men represent all those he calls his "band of brothers."

But most combat veterans who served with John Kerry in Vietnam see him in a very different light.

Swift Vets and POWs for Truth has been formed to counter the false "war crimes" charges John Kerry repeatedly made against Vietnam veterans who served in our units and elsewhere, and to accurately portray Kerry's brief tour in Vietnam as a junior grade Lieutenant. We speak from personal experience -- our group includes men who served beside Kerry in combat as well as his commanders. Though we come from different backgrounds and hold varying political opinions, we agree on one thing: John Kerry misrepresented his record and ours in Vietnam and therefore exhibits serious flaws in character and lacks the potential to lead.

We regret the need to do this. Most Swift boat veterans would like nothing better than to support one of our own for America's highest office, regardless of whether he was running as a Democrat or a Republican. However, Kerry's phony war crimes charges, his exaggerated claims about his own service in Vietnam, and his deliberate misrepresentation of the nature and effectiveness of Swift boat operations compel us to step forward.

For more than thirty years, most Vietnam veterans kept silent as we were maligned as misfits, drug addicts, and baby killers. Now that a key creator of that poisonous image is seeking the Presidency we have resolved to end our silence.


The time has come to set the record straight.

In all fairness, not everything the swift boat veterans said was true either. hard to pick out the truth from all the mudslinging.

swift boat bull was a slander campaign paid for by Bob Perry/Houston. As believable as from Breitbart, WND, Fox, etc, etc.

Are you able to show me some evidence that will refute their claims?

In fairness, for every swift boat claim by someone about Kerry's record there was someone else to claim differently. It all came down to who remembered what and when. I suspect there was truth on both sides.

One thing that was pretty universally agreed was that they didn't commit the atrocities that Kerry claimed they did.

of course, the public relations msg was that My Lai massacre was an isolated, unique massacre (to show the US military was actually taking massacres seriously, iow, there weren't any other massacres or war crimes by US military)
