This photograph of John Kerry and 19 other Coastal Division 11 Swift boat officers was taken at Ton Son Nhut Air Base on January 22, 1969, immediately following a meeting with General Abrams and Admiral Zumwalt.
The Kerry campaign featured the photograph in an advertisement released in May titled Lifetime. Swift Boat Veterans for Truth has contacted surviving members of this group to find out how many actually support John Kerry, and discovered that of 19 Swift boat skippers pictured other than Kerry, 12 consider him unfit, 4 are neutral, two have died, and 1 is working with the Kerry campaign. Four other officers were not present for the photo session; all oppose Kerry.
Only 1 of John Kerry's 23 fellow Swift boat commanders from Coastal Division 11 supports his candidacy today.
At the Democratic National Convention, John Kerry chose to ignore his entire record of public elected service, and instead spoke of his experience in Vietnam as the compelling qualification that supports his candidacy for President. The SwiftVets.com website closely examines Kerry's record of service, and in my opinion (and to no one's surprise), the Swift Vet's information demonstrates that Kerry has been outright dishonest in his claims of his wartime experience.
If Kerry won't run on his record of elected service, and with the SwiftVets blowing his military credibility away, we are left to make a decision based on what? His personality?
The crisis we face with the Democrats inability to field a credible candidate for president is that the possible ramifications for the nation if an unqualified candidate (like John Kerry) should actually succeed. Because the hard-core left is so blinded by their hatred for President Bush, they are putting the well-being of our country at risk.
