Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.


Swift Boat Veterans for Truth

John Kerry has made a great deal of his Vietnam service. Have you ever wondered what the other veterans in his swift boat thought of him?

John Kerry shouldn’t wonder since they sent him a legal cease-and-desist letter to stop Kerry from using their photos:

By letters delivered to the campaign on May 17 and on May 4, 2004, their objections to the use of the photograph in his campaign and their belief that he is unfit to serve as the Commander-in-Chief were made very clear. In fact, as has long been evident to Senator Kerry, all of these gentlemen have felt anything but comradeship with him at any time since his slanderous testimony before Congress in 1971 and other pronouncements that he and they committed war crimes and atrocities. These pronouncements were at least made in Mr. Kerry’s book, New Soldier, repeated in Tour of Duty and affirmed as late as Senator Kerry”s appearance on Meet the Press in April of this year. In that process he tarred the entire serving military in Vietnam with his black brush.

Of the 20 veterans in the picture with Kerry, only 2 of them support Kerry for President. And one of them is Kerry.

Apparently the remaining vets don’t care for how John Kerry’s presenting his military service, so they’ve founded their own website to get their word out that they think he’s lying about his service and that John Kerry is unfit for command. Visit Swift Boat Veterans for Truth for their side of John Kerry’s Vietnam story, as well as the commercial they’re airing on TV.

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
