I served with Admiral Elmo Zumwalt and Admiral Hyman Rickover.

Actually, Admiral Zumwalt was the CNO when I enlisted, and he showed up and gave a speech to us while I was in "A" school after boot camp.

Admiral Rickover was in charge of the sub force when I was in. I actually did meet him a couple of times - one when I was interviewed for a position on his staff and a couple of times when I escorted some prospective Nucs to interviews with him.

My relationship with Admirals Zumwalt and Rickover is roughly the same as the reationship of the signatories on all those "affidavits" to John Kerry.

Oh yeah ... my dad served with Eisenhower, too.

This whole subject (Kerry's military record) is bullshit. It is on a par with the attempts to tie John McCain to the Forrestal fire (hey - he was on deck waiting to launch when it broke out), or the obscene way the bobbleheads attacked the record and patriotism of (Congreesman and former VA Director) Max Cleland, a triple amputee due to service in Vietnam.
