Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry

by Jerome R. Corsi and John E. O'Neill

Book Overview

"What sort of combination of hypocrite and paradox is John Kerry?" ask the authors in this heated critique of the Democratic presidential candidate's Vietnam-era military service and antiwar activism. O'Neill, a lawyer and swift boat veteran, and Corsi, an expert on Vietnam antiwar movements, argue that Kerry misrepresented his wartime exploits and is therefore incompetent to serve as commander in chief.

Customer Reviews

I loved this book. Shame on Kerry. A must read

This was a very well wrtiten book and I found most of the information credible and factual. No wonder it is number one on the NY Times best seller list. I was undecided as to whom to vote for. This book made my mind up. Bush will get my vote this year. Kerry is not a credible person.

ACTUALLY READ THE BOOK

The book is well-researched, well-documented, and full of personal accounts from people who were actually there. Over 250 Swift Boat Veterans have endorsed the accounts in this book. This book is a serious work discussing Kerry's less than 4-month tour in Vietnam and his anti-war, anti-American activities after the war. It does not discuss Kerry's personal life and is not a smear. Every voter, especially our veterans, needs to read this book and make their own decision about Kerry's fitness to be the Commander-in-Chief.

Amazing

It amazes me that if you are a Vet and you support John Kerry then you are above reproach. If you are a Vet that doesn't support Mr. Kerry or have a different version of the story then you are a liar and a scoundrel. As a person who is a Vet and who does not support John Kerry I think that men that served and shed blood in Vietnam have a right to tell their side of the story. After all, the men in the book were there with Kerry and the people slamming this book were not. John Kerry has made Vietnam the center piece of his campaign. He is the one who started the debate and he is now getting the rebuttal to his version of what happened. He has already had to admit to a few lies already. He wasn't in Cambodia like he has been saying for over 30 years, his boat fled while the others stayed behind and he had to return to pick up a man that fell off his boat, his first purple heart was probably from an unintentional self inflicted wound. This has all been brought to light by this book and Kerry has had to take back water and is been proven as a liar. Kerry is the one having to change his story, not the Vets. Viet Vet '67 - '68.
