Ludicrous. They waited until an election season to bring it up.

Again, look at the time line. Kerry was who "bought it up." He pretty
much made
his Vietnam exploits his primary qualification for becoming President.

And before that, the Swift Boat Vets were running around the country
challenging every other politicians' military records and outting frauds, or
what?

Did they delve into Bush Sr's records? Authenticate any other veterans?

Which of these veterans were making claims to boost their political aspirations
and obtain higher office?


What were they doing before the election season when one candidate claimed
to have been decorated for action of a swift boat?

You missed the point again. Bush Sr wasn't going around with claims about what
happened in Vietnam. Kerry was, and the other veterans had a different version
of THAT story.
