John Kerry - an "opportunist." Says former Kerry shipmate Steve Gardner . Quotable. "I don’t care how much John Kerry’s changed after he moved off my boat, his initial patterns of behavior when I met him and served under him was somebody who ran from the enemy, rather than engaged it .. ". more Gunner’s Mate Stephen M. Gardner.

UPDATE: Kaus comments: "Unfortunately, Time's story is written by Douglas Brinkley, about the last man you'd want to assess Gardner's credibility. Brinkley, after all, has a whole lot invested in his Tour of Duty tale of Kerry heroism and leadership. He's also publicity-mad. ... Maybe Gardner's not to be trusted. But I don't trust Brinkley to be the one not to trust him." Posted by Greg Ransom | TrackBack
