    INJEST:

    "Swift boating is the bitter pill of truth."

    Here are some more "bitter pills of truth"--this time about John McCain from the very Vietnam veterans you and SON are citing in this thread.

    http://www.usvetdsp.com/jan08/mccain_military_r...

    "McCain's grades were 'marginal.' He drew so many demerits for breaking curfew and other discipline issues that he graduated fifth from the bottom of the class of 1958."

    http://www.vietnamveteransagainstjohnmccain.com...

    "Navy pilot John Sidney McCain III should have never been allowed to graduate from the U.S. Navy flight school. He was a below average student and a lousy pilot. During his relative short stunt on flight status, McCain III lost five U.S. Navy aircraft, four in accidents. Robert Timberg wrote that McCain's 'performance was below par, at best good enough to get by.'"

      And how exactly could anything you or anyone else say that changes John Kerry's 1971 testimony?

      Try and stay on topic.

        Big problem on this is that Kerry was telling what other vets had told him. Btw all of those claims was verified by indepedant sources. Obviously a lot of people have never heard about the Tiger Force unit of the Army's 101st Airborne Division who killed and mutiliated hundreds of unarmed and innocent South Vietnamese civilians over a seven month period in 1967. An army investigation substainted that 20 war crimes had been commited by 18 soldiers of the unit. This four year investigation reached the Pentagaon and the white house before the investigation was closed in 1975.

        Funny how the US army, Marines, Navy all have been found to have conducted investigations into war crimes commited by US Military Personal during Vietnam and were closed when it was found that atrocities and war crimes had indeed been commited by US military forces. These investigations were conducted in secret and closed so no court martial could take place. Contray to the Geneva Conventions and US miltiary code.
