Im sure IF Thurlow IN FACT got a bronze star that day, that O'Neill has read the citation.

Thurlow did in fact get a Bronze Star for his actions that day (March 13, 1969). And I agree, O'Neill has read it. I see no trap on this point (Thurlow's citation saying something about enemy fire, other than the mine).

I've been reading some blogs and liberal sites -- nobody has a good argument against the Swiftees. Nobdy! It's all smoke and mirrors, but some of the smoke and mirrors will trip a gullible public (e.g., Bill O'Reilly).
