By Michael McBride
Tuesday, November 27, 2007

Naval Aviation hopefuls are trained to box. The Navy is not really trying to develop the next Mike Tyson, but they have a specific purpose for this training and it serves its purpose.

The boxing program is designed to test three things about the flyboy wannabes; their response to training under duress, their physical fitness, and their mettle. All of the qualities that it takes to be a viable aviator in combat, post-shoot down survival, or life in a POW environment.

snip

It is the exhaustion and confusion inherent in boxing that bares the true soul and mettle of the boxer. Or in this case, determines if the aviation candidate has the skeletal structure and fortitude necessary to become a viable part of Naval Aviation as a pilot or crew member. If you swing at a Naval Aviator/NFO/Crewmember, expect them to return the favor.

Right away, not four years later.


snip

Pardon another boxing analogy, but isn’t that a bit like swinging from your hospital bed after being knocked out in the first round? Nothing will come of John Kerry’s belated and limp counterpunching of the Swiftboat ads. And here is why:

1. John Kerry has always had the power to clear up any of the Swiftboater challenges; all he had to do is allow the Navy to distribute unaltered copies of his service record, medical records, and DD214. It is essential that these records come from DOD, so that they cannot be tampered with by Kerry or his supporters. The DOD copies are the true copies of record and the only viable evidence for these matters.

John Kerry has always had the power to end the “Swiftboating” by releasing credible documentation, if it exists. He has waited so long in swinging back that it is unlikely that any credible evidence exists to refute the base charges of the Swiftboaters.




Read it all;

I've read an awful lot of commentary on the campaign to pejoratize "swiftboat", but Mr. McBride has hit the nail on the head with this "money quote"...

Quote:
As with most Dems, Kerry gets a free pass with the MSM on his political inconsistencies and the spotty documentation of his “public record,” so it would be no surprise that he would relying on his cornermen in the MSM to carry his water in his new fangled counter-attack. This would commonly be known as Oregonianboating, ABC-boating, CBS-boating, 60Minutesboating, NBC-boating, Datelineboating, etc, and et al.


Wonderful! Wink

...and that being the case, I'll forgive him this....

Quote:
Most people recognize that the truth lays somewhere between what the Swiftboaters claim and what Kerry claims.


Perhaps he just needs some new corner men.

P.S Bald...this one warrants its own topic Wink

I know we've all seen this photo before, but this time it is truly framed properly.
