I'm a 30 year vet, and McCain is my senator. I started to write an e-mail to him blasting him for his comments, but didn't. First, he would never see it and second, McCain listens to noone but his media buddies. Talking to McCain is like talking to the wall -- it doesn't compute. Kerry has made his Vietnam service the central justification for his ability to lead this nation during time of war. Thus, that service should be open to inspection. Even McCain should be able to see that. To say that those speaking out didn't serve on Kerry's boat and therefore don't know what they are talking about is just one of many asinine statements from McCain. I am a strong, conservative Republican, but I will not vote for McCain this year.

Where were you in 1969, when Kerry was serving in Vietnam? Do you understand that none of the "Swiftboat Veterans for (so-called) Truth" served with Kerry on his boat? Did you know that the leader of that group, John O'Neill, did not even serve on a swiftboat until after Kerry's swiftboat service? Why has every single man, save one, who actually served by Kerry's side testified to his courage under fire?
Attack John Kerry on the real issues but, if you served in Vietnam and you call yourself a patriot, you should know better than to denigrate his military service.
Shame on you.

I wonder if Paz Duravel has been banned yet by the fascist thugs who run the web site. Of course, they're not quite bright enough to realize that falcon99 is shilling for the Dems. Bwahahahaha!
