On page 106 of " John F Kerry, Blah,Blah," by Michael Kranish, it says that Rassmann was a
" bobbing target as he dodged bullets whizzing by him."
" He dove to the bottom of the canal and stayed under for as long as he could, but,
was shot at each of the five times he returned to the surface."
Jacques Cousteau Rassmann has bullets whizzing by him,
he's hiding from the enemy by diving to the " bottom " of the canal-
but, apparently, when he surfaces, unstead of trying to lay low and avoid calling attention to himself-
he lets loose with a string of curses that somehow the enemy ignores and
only Kerry can hear-over the sound of the 3 and a half miles of enemy fire that he claims was coming from both sides of the river-while he's fleeing in his swift boat.
Kerry either is in the early stages of Alzheimers, is a pathological liar or is mentally ill.
Perhaps all three.
