O'Neill says something off the cuff--once. Kerry tells us a long, dramatic story and again and again.

O'Neill was asked about this and said he was talking about a time after Kerry left in a place outside the delta in the open ocean off the south coast of Vietnam. Apples and Oranges.

Here is something from the swiftvets forum:

You’re missing the Point on O’Neill in Cambodia. He’s talking about patrolling on "Bernique’s Creek" near Ha Tien. That's on an entirely different river system and in different area of operations from where Kerry claimed to have entered Cambodia on the Mekong river. In fact you can’t even get from Ha Tien by boat to SA Dec without an ocean passage around the tip of South Vietnam O’Neill was never in Cambodia on "Bernique’s Creek" because it never enters Cambodia. It does however come within about 50 yards of the border and that’s what O’Neill was talking about. Here’s a link of the Cosdiv 11 AOR showing Ha Tien and the Creek with runs along the border. http://www.rjsmith.com/IV_Corps_An_Thoi_01.html
