The scenario is that one boat has been hit by a mine, and there is a man in the water. Wouldn't it be likely that under these circumstances the enemy would have been able to hit what they were shooting at, if indeed there was enemy fire on the scene. Wouldn't they at least have been able to hit the boats? If bullets were flying constantly overhead, how is it that nothing was hit??? As far as I know, none of the accounts report anyone having identified the enemy positions and returning fire. Does the scenario in these citations make any sense at all?
The boats werent hit because there was no enemy fire.
They took no enemy fire. The boats were shooting at the shore.
That's what hangs me up. Like, how wide is this river anyway?
Only in the warped delusional state of mind which is Hanoi John French Kerry!
