"...but the boats operated together in groups of at least three and they were within yards of one another. They lived and ate together."

You keep saying this, but it isn't really true. Depended where and what the ops were...boats operated independantly of each other all the time...went out for three-day patrols and often times never saw another boat.

I understand the point you are trying to make; however, making the point using erroneous info. doesn't work.

So they NEVER worked with each other or met each other in the 3 1/2 months of Kerry's service enough to judge he is lying about his tales? We already know the guy that treated Kerry was near him during battle.

When the boats were doing coastal duty, that was the case. Once they moved into the rivers, operations were different. I was a naval officer in Vietnam (1967-8) but not in Swift boats. I gather from the dates of your service that you were involved in coastal operations.
