===Second television advertisement=== On August 20, 2004, SBVT released a second television advertisement<ref>{{cite web|date=2004-10-12|title=Sellout (script)|publisher=SBVT website|url=http://swiftvets.com/selloutscript.html|archive-url=http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20051205115900/http://swiftvets.com/selloutscript.html |archive-date=December 5, 2005 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|date=2004-11-08|title=Sellout (video)|format=WMV|publisher=SBVT website|url=http://swift3.he.net/~swift3/sellout.wmv|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041204090856/http://swift3.he.net/~swift3/sellout.wmv|archive-date=2004-12-04|url-status=dead}}</ref> featuring a portion of Kerry's [[s:John Kerry's testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee|1971 testimony]], before the [[Senate Foreign Relations Committee]].<ref>{{cite web|title=John Kerry 1971 Senate Testimony (audio)|format=MP3|date=2004-08-25|publisher=Democracy Now!|url=http://play.rbn.com/?url=demnow/demnow/demand/2004/aug/audio/dn20040825.ra&proto=rtsp&start=11:02.227}}{{dead link|date=July 2020|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} [https://archive.org/download/dn2004-0825/dn2004-0825-1_64kb.mp3 Alt URL]</ref> Kerry, testifying as a member of [[Vietnam Veterans Against the War]] (VVAW), had criticized U.S. policy in Vietnam. He had also described VVAW's 1971 [[Winter Soldier Investigation]], in which more than 100 soldiers and civilians said they had seen or committed [[war crimes|atrocities]] carried out by U.S. forces in Vietnam. Kerry's Senate testimony presented a summary of these men's statements; he did not, however, say that he had any personal knowledge of these atrocities. The SBVT advertisement alternated clips of Kerry's summary of these statements with charges from Vietnam veterans, particularly former POWs, that Kerry's "accusations" had demoralized and "betrayed" soldiers in Vietnam. {{See also|Fulbright Hearing}}
