Then you would be wrong.

That's easy to measure.

Which of the crew members who served on Kery's boat, other than the
guy
who's
dead, does not support him?

More than half of them.

Huh?

I'm pretty sure it's 11 of the 12 he served with (on two boats).

NONE of the swiftboatvetsfortruth of whatever the hell they're called
served with Kerry.

Hey...*I* was on active duty in the Navy in 1967-1969.

*I* must have served with Kerry, too!

So, the difference is that you're not politically motivated to
participate in a character assassination pig pile?

I find it interesting that 250 guys who didn't know Kerry are willing to
step up to heap bad juju on him while NO ONE will show up to vouch for
Bush not being AWOL.

Irony? I think so!

I will bet they knew Kerry. Swiftboats would have been a tight group. Sort
of like a squadron in the air force. You knew most of the people in the
unit, even if you did not work directly with them. You missed out on the
military experience.

Still doesn't seem right that NONE of the men who served beside and
under Kerry would share the opinion of 250 others guys who WEREN'T on
the boat with him.

Doesn't that strike you as meaningful?
