Overview

Leading figures in the controversial conservative group that attacked - and at times distorted - John Kerry's military record to derail his bid for the White House say they won't actively fight his nomination as Secretary of State. The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth emerged as a legend of presidential campaign politics in the summer of 2004 when, with the backing of allies of George W. Bush, they revived attacks on Kerry's opposition to the Vietnam War and suggested that he was lying about details of his military service. This book is a tribute to 3,500 Swift boat sailors that served us so well during the Vietnam War, to 50 brave young Swift boaters that died in that service, and to the Swift boat veterans who actively opposed John Kerry in his quest for the presidency. Mr. Kerry's 2004 campaign for President of the United States (POTUS) was based on the idea that he was uniquely qualified because of his Vietnam exploits as a Swift boat sailor. This book aims to show that Mr. Kerry is not qualified to be POTUS based on his conduct while Officer in Charge of Patrol Craft Fast #44 (PCF-44). The narrative is comprehensive, detailed, and objective. I relied on official records where possible and have clearly identified opinions and assumptions. We owe the Swift boaters an apology for besmirching their name. We owe our respect and our gratitude to the brave young men and women who we ask to go in harm's way, even if we subsequently decide we made a mistake in asking them to go.
