In a new TV special, set to air later this week, John Kerry's fellow Swift Boat veterans have harsh words for the former "war hero." Captain George Elliott says he believes Kerry should have been removed from command, and possibly even thrown out of the Navy. Elliott was commander of Coastal Division 11, where Kerry spent his four short months of active duty in Viet Nam. Fellow Swift Boat vet Steve Gardner is even tougher – he says Kerry could well have been court-martialed, had the chain of command known then what they know now.
These and other first-person interviews of the men who served with Kerry in Viet Nam are part of a brand-new TV documentary called "Unfit to Lead," which will air in Florida later this week. The special is largely based on the best-selling book, Unfit for Command, and is hosted by the book's author, John O'Neill, who took over Kerry's swift boat in Viet Nam more than 30 years ago.

What part of this special would be a "surprise"? WE know this stuff, the media know this stuff, most of the Demc know this stuff? It's the we-know-they-know-we-know-they-know that's not out there yet!
A prelude to Kerry's possible "less than honorable" separation from service?
Bookmarked

bump!
In relation to what Rove said? I know Oct suprise is an election term but when Rove says it, to me, it means Bush/Cheney has something up their sleeve. Not some 527s (they do but they arent working with B/C 04)

All I want to know...
What code number does Kerry have on his discharge certificate?
It would be nice to know.
Sign the 180 , Senator.
Powerful stuff but it won't change the minds of the sheeple who are on the ABB bandwagon.
The DVD won't start shipping until tomorrow - only 6 days before the election - and the company that handles the orders doesn't know IF they can ship overnight, how much it will cost to ship overnight, or if they can even get it to you before election day. I know, because I called them.
So, I called the company the produced the video and asked them about that. They didn't know that was the case. I suggested that they need to get this out BEFORE the election and that they may want to use the model that Stolen Honor used and allow Pay-per-view on their website for people to watch or download the video immediately. I said that by time most people would receive the video the election will be over the point will likely be moot. They said they would look into it and call me back.
Bump.
Thanks for the ping!
It would be good if Sinclair were to complete the "double-cross" on the DemonRATs.
YEA! MORE POWER TO THEM!
God bless our beloved Swifties! (GO STEVE GO!)

The swifies are making a mistake by emphasizing Kerr's extra-short tour of duty. They should hit his disgusting slander of the troops when he got back. I don't know what happened on the Mekong. But I DO know that when I got out of the Army in 1973 there were some people who would not talk to me or shake my hand. And that was John Kerry's doing. At least Fonda apolgized for the reputations that were were damaged. But not Righteous John.
Florida. Excellent. Many military, Vietnam era military, baby boomers and adults of the era. Pray, everyone for this to get out on TV. It WILL open eyes about deeply held passions and memories.
