JOHN F. KERRY - UNFIT FOR COMMAND
Posted on Tuesday, September 21 @ 03:15:45 CDT by van

Politics One hundred and thirty-five officers and men who served or are still serving in the United States Navy endorsed a letter dated May 4, 2004 to Senator John Kerry, Democratic candidate for the office of President of the United States of America. The men, members of an organization known as "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" respectful requested that the candidate formally release all of his military and medical records which, to date, he has refused to do. As a military retiree myself, I call upon all who wear or have ever worn the uniform of our country to read the book entitled, "Unfit for Command" authored by John E. O'Neill and Jerome R Corsi, PhD (ISBN 0-89526-017-4) You will conclude, as I have concluded, that John Kerry was, if not still is, a traitor, and truly is UNFIT FOR COMMAND!

Senator Kerry,

We write from our common heritage as veterans of duty aboard Swift Boats in the Vietnam War. Indeed, you should note that a substantial number of those men who served directly with you during your four month tour in Vietnam have signed this letter.

It is our collective judgment that, upon your return from Vietnam, you grossly and knowingly distorted the conduct of the American soldiers, marines, sailors and airmen of that war (including a betrayal of many of us, without regard for the danger your actions caused us). Further, we believe that you have withheld and/or distorted material facts as to your own conduct in this war.

We believe you continue this conduct today, albeit by changing from an anti-war to a "war hero" status. You now seek to clad yourself in the very medals that you disdainfully threw away in the early years of your political career. In this process, we believe you continue a deception as to your own conduct through such tactics as the disclosure of only carefully screened portions of your military records. Both then and now, we have concluded that you have deceived the public, and in the process have betrayed honorable men, to further your personal goals.

Your conduct is such as to raise substantive concerns as to your honesty and your ability to serve, as you currently seek, as Commander-in Chief of the military services.

It is vital that the American public have as much information as possible about candidates for President of the United States. In various ways, you have rightly called upon President Bush to be fully accountable and to provide full disclosure. In the same spirit, now that you are the presumptive nominee of your Party, we believe it is incumbent upon you to make your total military record open to the American people.

Specifically, we the undersigned formally request that your authorize the Department of the Navy to independently release your military records (through your execution of Standard Form 180), complete and unaltered, including your military medical records. Further we call upon you to correct the misconceptions your campaign seeks to create as to your conduct while in Vietnam. Permit the American public the opportunity to assess your military performance upon the record, and not upon campaign rhetoric.

Senator Kerry, we were there. We know the truth. We have been silent long enough. The stakes are too great, not only for America in general but, most importantly, for those who have followed us into service in Iraq and Afghanistan. We call upon you to provide a full, accurate accounting of your conduct in Vietnam.

Respectfully,
