I've twice posted a list of more than twenty Navy officers from the
Swift boat program who discredited Kerry's record.

And I've posted his fitrep. I'll do her again:


Walt, if you had ever served a day in the military you'd know fitreps, OERs,
citations etc are generally inflated. If you try to write a report over a
specified period, in the case of OERs usually a year that includes all the
notible actions of the reportee you'd be writing a book. Therefore you pick 2
or 3 actions or events and pad the hell out of them.

I don't know about the Navy, but I do know an APR 8 (out of 9) or the
equivillent rating in an OER is considered career stopper in the Air Force.


And besides, no matter what those swift boat officers say, Bush has NO right
to
say squat because he didn't serve.

He's a U.S. citizen and can say what he wants. Show me where he personally has
denigrated Kerry's military service.
