I'm sold; I need to have a copy. My wife has been pestering me for gift ideas for Christmas. This would be it. Now if I can only get her to figure out the whole ordering off the internet thing, I'll be golden. (She just mastered email and the occasional bit of web surfing this past year.)

| I can't believe it! My husband won't give me the book to read although he is enjoying reading parts of it to me!! Scott covers far more than just the Swiftboats. This is an indictment of the old media, in my opinion. Anyway, he can't put it down and even has his fingers on the footnotes so he can go back and forth between them and the text. This book is heavily referenced which makes it even more valuable as a research tool. For those of you who participated in all the research discussions and analysis of Kerry's records, I really think you will find it a fascinating read! ENJOY! |

Should have ordered two  
Scott does cover a lot in the book, much that wasn't known before. The book is important for a lot more than just what the Swiftees did. Exposure of how the media tried to manipulate their message is something the public really needs to know.

Lew, now why didn't I think about that???  Reading all this sure brings back the memories of our research at the Naval Archives. Fun to read something and then say "hey, I remember that!" How I enjoyed working with the Chief! I miss him!! That man had a mind like a steel trap! |

Sandi, You should be able to order this book through the website listed.
As for Unfit for Command, check online auction sites. I saw some people selling theirs not too long ago. Their loss could be your gain. |
Lew,
Good to see you again my friend. "Unfit For Command" was released the same year that we had 3 hurricanes here in South Florida. We had no power for weeks including no television (a few local AM stations though). I am also a ham radio operator (w/15KW gas generator) so I was able to check into the "Red Cross Disaster Relief Net" over the air (I was the person to do so from ground zero) and give them regular updates and reports and also relay messages from family members and friends who had no phone (or internet) communications at all. My point of all of this is that this down time gave me the opportunity to read the book "Unfit For Command" 3 times. I honestly could not put this book down. How anybody (even democrats), after reading this book could still not even rethink their vote for Hanoi John Kerry shows just how blindly gullible most people are. If they would not even beleive the men who actually served with and actually commanded this "rat", then it's because they just didn't want to. BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) is more poweful than actual witnesses who were there on the scene. Liberalism truly is a mental disorder. BTW, my copy of "To Set the Record Straight" is already or order. (and NO, Amazon doesn't deserve a cut).
Merry Christmas to everybody here a the SVT forum and to all of our brothers who have served past and present!

The POWs were every bit as important as the Swifties in seeing Kerry denied his most ambitious desire.
And to this day, the libs and the media does not get it, that it wasn't about Republicans vs. Democrats or Bush for POTUS. The entire effort was to keep Kerry from being POTUS after he lied about the conduct in the field of the Viet Nam veterans and smeared their reputations.

welcome back Sandi!
I started on here back in about 8/2004 also. I got tired of seeing that 'nice guy' (O'Neil) on talk shows being screamed at / shouted down etc by the liberals. He always stayed nice and calm. Finally had to find out what it was all about - saw the web addr at bottom of screen, came here and spend mega hours on here prior to that election!! learned sooo much!
Love you guys!
I don't use cc's either - what I do for online is get a 'gift' cc at my bank. it costs about 4.00 (I chalk that up to the gas money I save by not driving to a store) plus the amount I want it for. I can only get up to 200.00. I don't get that much tho... usually maybe 100.00 (less to get carried away and spend). I usually just use it for photo processing (I do scrapbooking). I used up my last one a few months ago - will have to get another one now so I can buy this book!!
had no idea it was out - they been on HC? any shows promoting it?
gotta have it....
