You couldn't be more wrong. Perhaps you got that from Rush Limbaugh, because it is not even close to the truth.
Every living member of John Kerry's swiftboat crew except for one has endorsed his presidential run. The only one who hasn't died previously.
"Indeed, 10 of the 11 men who served on his two swift boats all have sworn by John Kerry; nine living members were in Boston [for the Democratic National Convention]."

The people in the ads did not serve with John Kerry, the are Republicans who served in Vietnam who have a history of lying about John McCain and John Kerry. They are funded by one of Bush's big campaign donors.
