Swift Boat Veterans
O'Neill stated that he turned down several requests over the years, including some from John Kerry's electoral opponents, to resume his attacks upon Kerry. However, he returned to the fore in 2004 as a co-founder of a new organization, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, later known as Swift Vets and POWs for Truth, and is listed as the coauthor with Jerome Corsi of the book Unfit For Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry. O'Neill stated that his main reason for resuming these activities was that Kerry was running for the office of President of the United States, i.e. Commander in Chief of the US armed forces. After Kerry lost the election, O'Neill stated that he planned to return to private life. However, he continues to make some public appearances and give public interviews.
