O'Neill told me that these former sailors served with Kerry no more than five weeks. Jim Rassmann, now part of the Kerry presidential campaign, was a Special Forces lieutenant spending a few days with Kerry when he fell or was knocked off the swift boat while under fire and was fished out of the Mekong River by the future candidate.

He only knew Kerry for a couple of days???

He [Rassmann] only knew Kerry for a couple of days??

Oh, you didn't know? The media has made a point of making sure the public has all the relevant facts. (/sarcasm)

Rassmann was a Green Beret (Army). Kerry was in the Navy.
