Some of those signing the document — such as Hoar and former Air Force Chief of Staff Merrill A. McPeak — have identified themselves as supporters of Sen. John F. Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. But most have not endorsed any candidate, members of the group said.

If you have openly identified yourself as supporting a candidate, aren't you implicitly endorsing them by making your choice public?

Probably none of the individuals in this group have spent any time with President Bush. All of the swift boat veterans who served with John Kerry and were of the almost unanimous conclusion that his poor character made him unfit for the Presidency were not much of an issue, as far as the media was concerned. So this doesn't seem (to me) to be anything but a stupid PR move designed to try and combat that event.

All hold-overs from the days of "moral equivalency". A bunch of old geezers who still can't accpet that Reagan popped their little bubble, and proved that Communism was, indeed, an evil empire to be eradicated, not tolerated.
