I just finished reading it, got mine Sunday from Borders. Excellent read filled with extremely good information. Much we have read here, but some we haven't. Personally, I'd like to see every registered voter read it before they voted this year.

I knew Kerry was quite a snake, but didn't realize this has been his pattern for several years now.

I'd be interested in seeing him trying to refute the information instead of all the attacks against the Swiftees.

Mr. Kerry, release your records and let the public judge for themselves!

Thank you to the authors - I'm half way thru it and find it to be well written, believable with many footnotes to back up their claims - the sincerity of the authors is obvious - and I'm not surprised to read the true facts of Kerry's record. His telling of his 'service in Viet Nam' has never sounded like the truth to me for the following reasons:

My husband served in WW2 as did most of his friends. They were in all branches of the armed forces; as a whole they had every single experience a soldier can have in a war - more than one was awarded a medal and they returned grateful to God that they were still alive and thankful they were able to be a part of a war to keep the world free! In 55 years I have never, ever heard one story from their lips bragging about medals they won or how many lives they saved, or what 'secret' mission they completed. They were just young men who were simply serving their country knowing it was their duty.

I have never, ever seen any hint of that kind of man/soldier in John Kerry!

I pray that everyone in America will read this book before they vote for President of our USA.

Beverly

My father was of your generation (I miss his council dearly), and was blown out of his AA 50-cal mount by an 88 round "near miss" just over the Rhur. Spent the 'duration' in England, recovering. Came home, married and raised his family. We only discussed his experiences years after I'd served a four year enlistment in the USAF ('70~'74). If he were alive today and read this book, he'd likely be outraged at the level of duplicity documented therein.

Pass it around to anyone you know who is likely to vote. Get it back, and pass it on again. And thank you and yours for the will to succeed, the sacrifices you endured and the life we (boomers) were afforded because of it! I fear we as a nation have lost much of that "backbone" and will be the worse for it. Keeping Kerry from the Oval Office would give me some small measure of reassurance that I am just paranoid ;-}
