Bump for later reference!
Now the latest charge from Chris Wallace on Fox is that the Swifties don't have any paperwork to back up their claims! Can you believe that?????
Would be nice if there were larger photos posted for these tired old eyes.
In addition, when the boats returned from a mission, everyone lived and ate and bunked on/in the same living quarters: a berthing ship, LST or small base. Swift Boat divisions were very small. Everybody knew all of the other people intimately and well. Whether they got along with them or not. The Swift Boat sailors that served with John Kerry definitely had as much or more contact with him as any of his assigned crewmen.

I heard him say that, and thought I heard wrong. Since I have one of those DVRs, I zipped back and replayed it. I didn't hear wrong. He said it. And he looked like the cat after it ate the canary. It appeared to be a very satisfying moment for Wallace. He's just another media hack, and might as well go to work for CNN or ABC.
Excellent find.
Well, who the _______ was writing all this stuff down on legal pads waiting for Kerry to run for President? Chris Wallace is a moron.
Thanks for the photos, Navy Vet.

"Phony Vietnam veterans alleged in books
Guenter Lewy's 1978 book America in Vietnam (pages 316-317) and B.G. Burkett and Glenna Whitley's Stolen Valor (Verity Press, Inc., Dallas, Texas)(pages 113, 131-137) contain similar information about alleged flaws in Lane's book. Neither book, however, refutes any of the testimony given during the Winter Soldier Investigation.
Lawyer and leftist activist Mark Lane was one of the organizers of Winter Soldier. In 1970, Lane had published a book called Conversations With Americans purporting to be interviews with Vietnam veterans about war crimes, containing Vietnam tales of atrocities. Reporter Neil Sheehan showed some interviewed in Lane's book had never served in Vietnam and others had not been in the situations they described. Lane admitted he did not check military records, as confirmation of details was not relevant. Lane later confirmed these militarty records.
The following are often falsely listed as being participants in Winter Soldier, but were actually in Lane's book instead. This confusion is probably due to Stolen Valor having an explanation of Lane's history within the section on Winter Soldier.
Chuck Onan, stock room clerk in Beaufort, S.C.
Michael Schneider, deserted in Europe and deserted again in the USA.
Terry Whitmore, was in an unpopulated area of Vietnam.
Garry Gianninoto, medical corpsman at battalion headquarters.
VVAW leader and Winter Soldier co-organizer Al Hubbard lied about being an officer, and sustaining war injuries - but he never testified at Winter Soldier .
According to the investigative work of Burkett, Lewy and others, there were many imposters, liars, and plain nutjobs who infiltrated the ranks of the anti-war movement, and, in some cases, testified to war crimes and atrocities that never occurred in order to get attention, sympathy, and, in one documented case, medals and honors."

Yeah, guess that boat some yards away couldn't see what was going on either. Probably even missed George standing up at the bow.

Yeah, missed that. Send the photos to them.

What was that paper he held up on O'Reill's show at the end? He said it was the after-action-report. He didn't say who prepared it. If I'm not mistaken, John Kerry prepared that report. Wonder why Mr Wallace didn't tell Bill O that?
Chris Wallace is snide little reporter who hates conservatives.
