I have a question about John E. O'Neill of SBVFT notoriety and

[mazzarro]

chief critic of John Kerry. If O'Neill took command of Kerry's swift boat after Kerry left Vietnam; did O'Neill command the same boat crew Kerry commanded? If so why has none of his - O'Neill's - crew come forward to substantiate any of the allegations O'Neill has been making since 1971? Is that not the first and most important test of the veracity of what O'Neill has been alleging?
