"You think so? I'm not so sure. It's hard to dispute after action reports, etc.
We can't let this story die."
After 30 + years this guy supposedly finds out that he is mentioned in Brinkley's book about the great war hero JFKerry.
He is in Southern California and goes into a bookstore to check out the book. Low and behold there he is mentioned in the midst of this book.
Next thing he is on a plane in IOWA to save JFKerry's campaign.
Rassmann is not telling the whole story.

Can someone check on Rassmans voter registration. He says he is a Republican but I doubt it...

Rassmann was a special ops guy riding on Kerry's boat. So he didn't serve under Kerry right? The guy falls overboard and Kerry pulls him back in the boat. Ergo, Kerry saves his life???
Say what ...
I have a boat and someone falls off and I get them back aboard. I don't quite look at it as if I saved their life. People fall off boats and some even jump off boats all the time. Wouldn't anyone help someone back aboard??? I sure don't see this as heroic.
What am I missing?

"Rassmann is not telling the whole story."
Maybe he is. He was just a passenger on the boat and fell off in the river. He knows Kerry picked him up out of the water. He probably believes Kerry did save his life. At this point, he might wish he had never given that phone call to Kerry. A few minutes of fame might not be worth all the grief he is now going thru.
Why don't I feel sorry for the poor guy - he looks pathetic?
