DES MOINES, Iowa Jim Rassmann, who credits John Kerry with saving his life while under fire in Vietnam, is countering new commercials challenging the Democratic nominee's war record.
Rassmann, a former Special Forces officer, is in Iowa today. It's his first visit to the state since January when he was reunited with Kerry after more than 30 years.
His visit, which started in Cedar Rapids this morning, comes as another group of Vietnam veterans airs T-V ads accusing Kerry of fabricating his war record.
Rassmann says he has little patience for it and it's starting to be "very irritating."
With blubber like that, Rassmann probably did not do a very good job of staying underwater.
And what an interesting revisionist history.....it's a history that was apparently revised 36 years ago. Today we just hear it being shouted louder and without any evidence.
