[Use It Or Lose It]

But Jim Rassmann, who credits Kerry with saving his life in Vietnam...

Will someone please tell the true story of Rassman? He was Army Spec. Forces, so was he assigned to Kerry's boat? One of the Swifties said Rassman was sitting on the back of the boat, eating a cookie and he fell off because Kerry sped out like a bat outta hell after one of the boats hit a mine, then came back when they realized Rassman wasn't there.

That's their story I think. Also that Kerry reached him just before another boat did. Once Rassman was back on board, Kerry bugged out. I think it will be in their book.

My question is: Rassmann fell out of Kerry's boat, but three other men also fell in the water. There were four total. So which boat did they fall out of? Mr. O'Dell (one of the men in the Swift Boat Ad) said that a mine had gone off and one boat was disabled and could not move. Did the three other men fall out of the disabled boat?

I wonder how Rassman felt when Kerry was trashing him (among others) after Kerry returned to the U.S.?

Some people say that Kerry would not be a good military leader. I don't know.
He helped engineer our (U.S.) defeat in Vietnam. [/sarc]
