I don't know of any small arms that are capable of shooting a round five miles. A tank round doesn't travel 5 miles. Only heavy artillery will travel that far.

So if Kerry was in Cambodia, it wasn't the ARVN shooting at him. But Kerry is such a military expert that I must be mistaken. It seems that only Kerry and his supporters are allowed to comment on things like that. The rest of us just don't know anything (according to McCain and the media).

I had the same thought yesterday, before I had heard about his "CIA hat-buddy" and posted the following.

Can't even make a joke around here, without the Dims trying to steal it, and call it the truth!

Since my understanding is that these boats operated in close-support groups, how is it the Kerry's boat was five miles(!) inside Cambodia, yet NO other boats were nearby?

Is Kerry the only boat commander who was hand-picked to make a "stealth CIA run" into Cambodia, to check reports our Vietnamese allies secretly had rifles with a five mile range in the jungle? And a sighting system to match!

It had to take place then or never, since Christmas Eve & Christmas is the only time they would be drunk enough to let the cat out of the bag.

The answer must have been affirmative on all counts, since he did report the "drunken VN allies" were shooting AT him. Not 'at' his boat; at HIM! They must have been trying to prevent him from reporting back.

Unfortunately, even when confronted with this evidence that we KNEW they had them, we were seemingly never able to get them to share those 'super rifles' with us.

No wonder this is "seared into his brain". It was so traumatic that it made him...it would anyone, dontchya know...mix up who was President and who was only President-Elect.

Yeah, that's it! That HAS to be it. See? There IS a rational explanation...
