Among the bombshells Drudge reports:

All three of Kerry's Purple Hearts were for minor injuries, not requiring any hospitalization, and two were self-inflicted.

A "fanny wound" was the highlight of his Bronze Star.

Kerry filed a false report to exploit the death of a Vietnamese father and child as an act of "heroism."

He burned an abandoned Vietnamese village and slaughtered the civilians’ livestock.

“Kerry's reckless behavior convinced his colleagues that he had to go - becoming the only Swift Boat veteran to serve only four months,” Drudge reported.

“Unfit for Command,” scheduled for release Aug. 15, could do as much damage to Kerry as the entire year’s packed lineup of Bush-bashing movies and books has done to the president. NewsMax will have the new book soon; check out our FREE offer.

O'Neill, who served with John Kerry in Vietnam and has been exposing the Massachusetts Democrat’s military record ever since, has terrified Kerry’s presidential campaign with the explosive new book.

As NewsMax has reported, O’Neill, a leader of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, has:

Forced Kerry in 1971 to admit he never witnessed the war crimes he had accused U.S. troops of committing.

Stated at a news conference last month: “We resent very deeply the false war crimes charges he made coming back from Vietnam in 1971 and repeated in the book ‘Tour of Duty.’

"We think those cast an aspersion on all those living and dead, from our unit and other units in Vietnam.

"We think that he knew he was lying when he made the charges, and we think that they're unsupportable. We intend to bring the truth about that to the American people.

“We believe, based on our experience with him, that he is totally unfit to be the Commander-in-Chief."

Pointed out that despite the show staged at the Democrat convention, most of the officers in Kerry’s division have signed a public letter saying he's unfit to lead.

Accused Kerry of exaggerating and even faking his wounds. "He literally is a guy who parades around and pretends to be something he's not,” O’Neill said.

“He was in Vietnam for four months; everyone else was there for a year. He obtained three Purple Hearts from self-inflicted wounds. And then he left."

Urged Kerry to stop exploiting photos of fellow soldiers, many of whom oppose his candidacy.

Revealed how Kerry’s campaign has tried to muzzle Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

O’Neill has explained: “It's his self-promotion that infuriates most of the people from his unit, who actually know what he did. He would be a terrible commander in chief of U.S. forces in the world at a time of crisis."
