This Swift Boat thing is ridiculous. They have so many holes in their story and there are more important things to worry about than Vietnam recollections in 2004. If you like Bush for his policies, I personally disagree with you, but I disagree with him on that, not on his military record.
The Swift Boat Vets first off have a partisan agenda. Their financial backing has come from large Republican donors and John O'Neil was even considered for a judicial vacancy by W's father when he was president. Lifetime he has made $15,000 in contributions...all to Republicans.
They keep claiming Kerry only served for 4 months, but how would 4 months constitute his 2nd tour of duty? Because they fail to mention he served on the USS Gridley for a tour prior to volunteering to be a Swift Boat captain. The vet who claims to have treated Kerry for his wounds was not the doctor who signed as the doctor who treated him according to records. And one of them who claims that there was no gunfire when Kerry saved his crewmember from the water reeived an award stating that he had come under fire in the same incident.
They also claim in a commercial that Kerry accused all troops of committing war crimes. He felt he had made a mistake by firing in free-fire zones which could have still contained civilians and he stated in his testimony before the house that he had met with vets in Detriot who had said they had committed war crimes, he wasn't refering to all veterans. but they edit his testimony to make it seem lke he did.
Check out the archives on Factcheck.org and you can see all that he said when he testified and what was left out in the commercials. You can also check out Bushand Kerry's misleading claims too, because neither is perfect and you can make a better decision on who to vote for based on the facts.
