Veterans Long to Reclaim the Name ‘Swift Boat’

Kinda late coming out now to "cry" about the misuse of their "name." How come they were silent until now - long after they destroyed Kerry.

Kerry and Swift Boat go together like Bacon and Eggs.

But through their ignorance didn't understand the unintended consequences; once you lose your name, it's very difficult to impossible to get it back.

"Swift boat" will always conjure up negatives.

Kind of like Southerns complaining about how everyone outside the South and most in it associate the Confederate Battle Flag with racists. If they didn't want that association to be made, they should have stood up to those who distorted it from it's original meaning.

They should. He was a swift boat commander and well respected by his crew.
