WHY was Rassman on one of the boats?
HOW did Rassman get there? (The Why is a short answer, I think, the How, I'd bet, is more interesting.)
WHEN did Rassman first meet Kerry?
WHERE did Rassman fisrt meet Kerry?
WHAT did they do together?
WHO ELSE was involved, with Rassman at the time? Contemporaneous witnesses as to what Rassman was all about then.
Who was Rassman? An Army Green Beret.
Why was he on one of the boats? I assume that Kerry was his transport to and from a particular location for about 5 days. Boats carry all varieties of spec ops even today. BUT...I want the hear the answer from Rassman, and I want such a basic question asked by BillO.
How did Rassman get there? I'm guessing it was a HQ coordinated op due to the duration being for more than a one-time drop off. It's possible that Rassman was just working in the area, and he and Kerry were playing cowboy.
When did Rassman first meet Kerry? Be interesting if it was pre-Vietnam, wouldn't it?
Where did Rassman first meet Kerry? Same as above.
What did they do together? What was the mission assignment.
Who else was involved with Rassman at the time? Be nice to have them comment on why he was on Kerry's boat and on how reliable he was.
What is the possibility that Rassman was one of an ongoing series of Kerry bodyguards, since Kerry was a member of the aristocracy, and connected to the Kennedys.
Would he have been hand-picked for that job?
