Bad for Bush's campaign. He has probably been advised as such, as he condemed the ads after finding out that one of his advisors on veterans issues (Kenneth Cordier) was participating in the ads. KC was subsequently dismissed as advisor.
SBVFT is only relevant if they are acting out of concern about Kerry's leadership. But they have failed to make it appear so. At least half of the swing voters will be able to tell how personal the attack is, and that it is motivated by JKs testimony after his service, and the fact that SBVFT step up to the plate 36 years after it happened doesnt look good.

For more than thirty years, most Vietnam veterans kept silent as we were maligned as misfits, addicts, and baby killers. Now that a key creator of that poisonous image is seeking the Presidency we have resolved to end our silence.

WHY did they keep silent?
There is also still a question of how Bush's military time in Alabama and Texas air NG was spent. Although pay records have been accidentally destroyed, there is a microfilmed personnel file at the Texas State Library which Associated Press is suing Bush to see. Why doesnt the president just release the microfilm, so we can just get on with this?
My opinion, and worth what you paid for it.
