Disillusioned Swift Boat Vets Speak Out WASHINGTON (DPI) - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry has been accused by a very vocal group called Swift Boat Veterans for Truth of various shenanigans regarding how he earned his medals in Viet Nam. Among those assertions is that Kerry shot himself in his own buttock in order to win a purple heart. The Daily Probe investigative team has been interviewing Viet Nam swift boat veterans, asking for their opinions on the controversy. Capt. Charles Plumly, USN (retired) "Going into this, the powers-that-be painted a picture for us that was black and white. Bush vs. Kerry. Good vs. Evil. 'Your country needs you,' we were told. That was enough. At first, we really thought what we were doing would make a difference. Now, it's just all messed up." Lt. Col. James Zumwalt, USMC (retired) "Every day, we are getting ambushed, sometimes by those we thought were on our side. Christ! We don't even know who the enemy is anymore." Corp. Brady Little, USMC (retired) "He shot himself in the ass? Well, that's just plain stupid. Ain't no medal worth not having an ass no more." Capt. George Elliott, USN (retired) "This is what happens when you let politicians play war. We don't belong here." Robert Brant, USN (retired) "The other day, I held a buddy as he died in my arms. Colon cancer. He was only 63." Capt. Adrian Lonsdale, USCG (retired) "Since starting this thing, I've seen things that will haunt me to the end of my days." Richard O'Mara, USN (retired) "I don't know how things got so crazy and I really don't care anymore. I just want to go home. " (Reported by Brad Osberg)
