That really should take care of it -- and these facts probably explain why Fox News isn't saying much.
Memories fade after 30+ years, and these guys might not all be liars, but the most favorable interpretation is that they're letting their distaste for Kerry's activities after he returned from VN and his current politics influence their judgment.
Honest to God, and I'd think that even the GOPers who haven't served should be able to understand this -- the fact that five of the six guys who actually served on Kerry's boat back his candidacy (the 6th is dead), as well as the Army SF guy who's life he saved (Rasmussen) ["Rassmann," I believe --
T.S.], should tell you all you need to know about the quality of his service.
The sad thing is that this false ad will hurt Kerry with some voters who see it -- and direct counter-advertising or speaking against it will only make matters worse.
