I have reached some conclusions over the last couple of weeks regarding the Swift Vote controversy. In the interest of full disclosure I must say the following:

1. I have never served in the military (classified as a Conscientous Objector by my Draft Board in 1971).
2. It follows that I have never been in combat.
3. However, I have been in some fairly hair raising experiences shared with other people.

So, my question for the board - Is it possible for both the SVFT and John Kerry to be right? In those experiences I mentioned, with adrelanine pumping to the max, the experience was viewed quite differently by all those involved. It occurs to me that in a combat situation, there may be many different reccolections and the folks that have those reccolections would all believe that they saw and remembered the truth.

More full disclosure - I am not interested in fighting anyone who does not agree with me. I will always try to remain civil. I recognize that I will not convince the Bush supporters of the danger posed by this President and his possible reelection. I also recognize that the Bush supporters will not convince me that W is the man. I'm really just wanting to get your opinions as to my conclusion.

Yes, it's possible that in any given situation on almost any given event that has occurred there can be multiple veiws as to how that event occured or went down. Remember the story of how in an law class at a leading university of how a staged event went down where several individuals burst into the classroom with guns drawn shooting at an individual and how no two students in the class could give an accurate discription of what happened or the dress of the iundividuals involved. You can apply this same scenario to combat and have the same outcome.

Have 20 people watch the same event today. You can be assured there will be several versions of the SAME STORY being told.

It's a proven fact.

And I'll drink beer with you, but I gave up brawling many years ago.
