Hanoi Kerry : Is this one of your October suprises? Tick, Tick, Tick PING!

"TE" for example refers to a "task element," which is defined by the numbers to the right that shows the command structure over the task element in action. "194" is Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, commander of U.S. naval forces in Vietnam; "5" is Admiral Roy Hoffman's Swift boat command; "4" is Commander Adrian Lonsdale's command; the last "4" is Captain George Elliot's Swift boat base at An Thoi, where the boats on this mission were based. And the final "/1" indicates someone other than the commander of the mission. If the report had been submitted by the mission commander, in this case Larry Thurlow, according to the operations order, it would have begun with a "C" for commander of the Task Element, and the sender would have been "CTE 194.5.4.4."

Someone should interview the USCGC Spencer radioman... typically these reports were either delivered to radio in handwritten form or verbally submitted to be typed out on teletype..

I think it's the same article. Published Friday.

Kerry spokesmen have repeatedly insisted that Mr. Kerry denies writing the report and that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth were arguing with the official Navy record. But if "the official Navy record" now turns out to have been written by Mr. Kerry himself, the principal beneficiary of its glowing references to his performance, the Swift Boat critics' charges look far more consequential.

Boy, one would think that someone who focus's on the military of thirty some years past in a campaign would put ALL question to rest with form 180.

After all, JFK has nothing to hide but his humility, right?

JOHN KERRY = Enemy of Vietnam Vets

Holy mackerel. This is a KILLER STORY! Kerry ran away at the first sign of combat, went back when he thought it was safe, and then made up a story to send in about his own heroism, inventing all sorts of dangers that never happened.

If it can be proved that he was alone on the boat that sent in the report, his goose is cooked.

Yes, yes, I know. The MSM will ignore this story just as they have ignored the testimony of more than 150 Vietnam veterans. But I do believe it can be gotten out.

Maybe that was the mystery report that he slipped from his pocket during the debates.

The report mentions two other mines detonating as well. So according to this report, which now stands as the official Navy record, this Swift boat mission concluded by running a veritable gauntlet of almost 3 miles of enemy fire from both banks, the detonation of three mines, and yet the only casualties occurred on the boat that hit the first mine. The Swift boats managed to escape and even more miraculously retrieve the sinking PCF-3 without getting a single bullet hole in any vessel or crewmember.

"It is miraculous all right, because it never happened," recalls Larry Thurlow, who commanded the mission."PCF-3 hit a mine, all of my boats directed supressing fire on both banks expecting the mine to be followed up by gunfire.
