POV. Swift boat has become synonymous with a nasty campaign smear. The people who engineered that smear did us all a disservice, but the worst of that disservice is what they did to the hundreds of guys who fought and sometimes died operating those vessels. The lucky ones, those who lived to come home, not always whole, now find themselves reluctant to talk about their service. Think about that and the perpetrators of the fraud that fouled the reputations of dedicated service men and women. With the presidential campaign well underway, think about who's next.
