Thanks for the ping!
I was on PBRs not PCFs. But, whenever attacked or thought to be under attack, we would go to high speed. That was one of our valuable capabilities to get away fast and then maneuver quickly to bring the attack to the enemy. If someone was skylarking when you went to full speed, they could easily end up in the drink. When that occurred, we or one of the other boats in company would conduct man-overboard maneuvers to rescue the person in the water. So the story is plausible to me that Rassmun fell off Kerry's own boat.
Flipper pimp-slapped mega-ping!
Well, he COULD tell you about it. But then he would have to kill you.
Tonk -- thanks for the ping. I'm putting this on my website PRONTO!! (www.iowapresidentialwatch.com )
I was there at #27. I've been emailing this story to everyone I know, personal and professional all over the country. Around 500 people in 30 major cities. Everyone needs to do the same.
I sent Rush an e-mail yesterday to let him know that Rasmann fell off KERRY'S boat when he bugged out.
From his discussion today, I guess he didn't read it. LOL!
Bump!

Unfortunately now today I don't know which story is true. I think it was Rush I heard reading from the book and the guy telling the story in the book (can't remember his name) said that Rassmann fell off the boat behind when it hit the mine along with others and all the other boats circled around them except Kerry's boat which took off.
Thanks for the ping. :-)
Dear Silverback, I'm interrupting John Kerry's dispatches from the road to tell you about something that will make you angry, but which is important for you to hear. We knew it was coming: the Bush campaign and several allied right-wing groups are using August to launch a vicious smear attack against John Kerry. They think we're vulnerable this month because while George Bush is still able to raise money for attack ads, Kerry had to stop fundraising at the Democratic convention last week. They're taking this opportunity to go for the jugular. We need you to join us in this fight today by supporting the Democratic Party. https://www.democrats.org/support/kerry.html The worst of the current wave of attacks is coming from a Republican-funded group called "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth." (I'll call them by a more accurate name: Swift Boat Veterans for Bush.) The group is led by a longtime Republican operative and financed by GOP contributors with strong ties to George Bush. Its function in the overall Republican strategy is this: tear down John Kerry since Bush has no record or vision to run on. The swift boat ad is full of lies. Thirteen men who never served with John Kerry lie about knowing him and viciously attack his record. It is a new low for the Republicans. Every time they have attacked us like this, it has only made us stronger. When they ran dishonest attack ads (like the unbelievable new one on the air right now), thousands of new supporters flocked to our campaign to give us the resources we need to fight back on the airwaves. Now that the general election has begun, they're hoping things are different. They're going to be sorely disappointed because we are not alone. The Democratic National Committee is well prepared to take on this fight. And therefore I'm asking you: everything you did for our campaign, please do now for our Democratic Party. Give the party the resources it needs to fight against these right-wing attacks: https://www.democrats.org/support/kerry.html The Democratic Party is responsible for putting organizers and volunteers into the field and turning out the millions of votes we need to win. We literally cannot win this election without the party. https://www.democrats.org/support/kerry.html You and I know that if we so much as yield an inch to George Bush and the Republicans this month, we'll live to regret it. In fact, we may live to regret it for four long years. Join with me in supporting the Democratic Party today. Thank you, Mary Beth Cahill

Did it move you to empty your wallet?
I'm guessing no.
