Roy Hoffmann
Rear Admiral Roy F. "Latch" Hoffmann, U.S. Navy (retired) is Chairman of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, established May 4, 2004, in opposition to John Kerry's candidacy for U.S. President. As a naval officer, he patrolled the Mekong Delta on swift boats during the Vietnam War.〔''Albion Monitor'': (Kerry in Vietnam: ) March 24, 2004.〕 In an article for ''Salon'', Joe Conason described Hoffmann as "a cigar-chomping former Vietnam commander once described as 'the classic body-count guy' who 'wanted hooches destroyed and people killed.'" 〔Salon.com: (Smear Boat Veterans for Bush. ) May 4, 2002.〕
Following his retirement from the Navy, he was a port director in Milwaukee, Wisconsin before being removed from the post.〔''Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel'': (Hoffmann once rocked boat in Milwaukee ). August 23, 2004.〕
Hoffmann claimed he got involved with the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth after reading Douglas Brinkley's book "Tour of Duty," which, among other things, detailed Kerry's Swift Boat duty in Vietnam; he told Washington Post, "I couldn't bear that someone was betraying us and being a dastardly liar. If I can be any more plain than that, I don't know."〔''Washington Post'': (Unfriendly Fire. ) October 4, 2002.〕
