Swift boat veterans leader continues to attack Kerry
By Jack Douglas Jr.
Star-Telegram Staff Writer
FORT WORTH - Vietnam War veterans angry over Sen. John Kerry's protest of the war in the early 1970s met in Fort Worth this weekend to celebrate his loss in the presidential election.
John O'Neill, a former Swift boat commander in Vietnam and co-author of an anti-Kerry Book, Unfit for Command, was a special guest at the gathering Saturday night at Billy Bob's Texas of about 100 veterans from throughout the United States.
Introduced as "the man who torpedoed John F. Kerry's candidacy," O'Neill said that his group, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, raised $28 million to help defeat the Democrat.
"How could you ever elect to the presidency of the United States a man who claimed we were involved in all of those atrocities?" O'Neill said. "How could you let a guy like that be in control of our children's future?"
Criticism of Kerry's war honors as a Swift boat commander in Vietnam, and of his anti-war statements in 1971 after he returned to this country, is believed to have helped derail his challenge against President Bush.
Larry Bailey, founder and president of a group calling itself Vietnam Vets for the Truth, said his group joined with O'Neill's organization in lambasting Kerry's criticism of the Vietnam War and in questioning whether Kerry should have received honors for his military service in the conflict.
"We never mentioned once the name George W. Bush," he said.
State Rep. Lon Burnam, a Fort Worth Democrat, said he was surprised that former Vietnam War soldiers would toast Bush's victory, noting that the president, a Texas Air National Guard veteran, never served in Vietnam.
"It's a little ironic they're celebrating Kerry's defeat at the polls," Burnam said. "The only Vietnam War veteran in the race was John Kerry."
