Good lord, if I knew about that, I'd forgotten it over the years among the tons of Kerry's other deeds. Just how much time did Kerry actually spend aboard that swift boat during that 4 month period?? Was it only the 10 minutes he needed to run the boat onshore, wait for his boys to incapacitate the enemy and then run ashore, off the guy and grab the gun and the glory??
This stuff is amazing! What's even MORE amazing is that nobody, NOBODY in the mainstream media is bothering to report it - while leftist rags like the Villiage Voice and the Boston Globe are....a fact that makes the Twilight Zone theme run through my head. Someone at the Villiage Voice must be either a Vietnam veteran or a close relative of one. The Boston Globe...well, he's obviously stepped on a lot of toes up there in Mass.
Well it is clear he made every precious moment count. Remember, Kerry got his first Purple Heart wound within 24 hours of arriving in Vietnam.
Which was a pretty neat trick in that according to most reports the Swift boats didn't start engaging in combat until two weeks later, when Zumwalt changed their mission.
