There was gun fire alright.....

When one boat hit a 'viet cong home made mine'....they did their version of immediate action drills...poured power to the boats and every body opened up in the area of fire they were responsible for...

So I am guessing dual 50 cals on every boat four M-60s and a Honneywell 40 mike-mike all opening up at once....

Yep there was lots of shooting going on alright...

And not one hole in any boat (other than Kerry himself that is)

imo

Hear what Gardner (one of Kerry's crewmen) says about Kerry:
 
Gardner- Member of Kerry Swiftboat Full Bronze + PH + SCambodia Story

AUDIO BLOWS KERRY'S LIES OUT OF THE WATER.

KERRY OVERWROTE HIS AFTERACTION REPORT EMBELLISHING HIS REPORT FOR HIS SUPERIORS.

HE GOT BRONZE STAR AND PURPLE HEART DUE TO SELF INFLICTED WOUNDS.

I hadn't heard this; Gardner came back from DC with a situation report (SITREP) from the Navy archives for the incident with the sampan. Kerry declared there were 4 enemy who "jumped off the boat and ran ashore" in addition to those KIA. He also declared the small boat (30' long canoe like) had 5500 LBS of contraband (meaning the weight of a good size automobile).

Gardner has some kind of SitRep [Situation Report] that the Kerry supporters haven't seen. This SitRep apparently contradicts Kerry regarding the shooting of the family on a boat. The Rassman Bronze star/PH incident had to generate more than 1 SitRep - there were 5 swifts there - and these guys have the documents to prove that Kerry filed false reports.

Gardner: There is absolutely no way Kerry went up the river into Cambodia, because the river had barriers in it that made entry impossible.

Kerry is screwed.

"My name is Steve Gardner. I served in 1966 and 1967 on my first tour of duty in Vietnam on Swift boats, and I did my second tour in '68 and '69, involved with John Kerry in the last 2 1/2 months of my tour. The John Kerry that I know is not the John Kerry that everybody else is portraying. I served alongside him and behind him, five feet away from him in a gun tub, and watched as he made indecisive moves with our boat, put our boats in jeopardy, put our crews in jeopardy... if a man like that can't handle that 6-man crew boat, how can you expect him to be our Commander-in-Chief?"
