The left has reacted to the embarrassing truth about Bergdahl by:

(b) Accusing Bergdahl's displeased Army comrades of "swiftboating."
Yes, exactly. This is precisely what "swiftboating" is: The truth about a serviceman from the people who actually served with him. Similarly, the attacks on John Kerry came from the men he served with, not the Republican Party.
To the contrary, John McCain, who never served with Kerry, called the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth "dishonest and dishonorable." (You nominated him!) President Bush requested that they take their ads off TV.
The only prominent Republican to defend the Swifties was former Sen. Bob Dole -- a genuine World War II hero -- who told CNN:
"One day (Kerry's) saying that we were shooting civilians, cutting off their ears, cutting off their heads, throwing away his medals or his ribbons. The next day he's standing there, 'I want to be president because I'm a Vietnam veteran.' Maybe he should apologize to all the other 2.5 million veterans who served. He wasn't the only one in Vietnam."
