Four boats on patrol, one boat hits a mine, people get blown into the water. NO OTHER ENEMY FIRE from anywhere. Two of the boats start picking people out of the water, Kerry fled the area in his boat.
When he noticed that there was no fire coming from the banks, Kerry comes back with his boat and picks up Rassuass (or whatever his name is). Other boats pick up other guys out of the water.
Kerry turns in paperwork that says that there was "heavy enemy fire coming from the banks for 3 miles along the river, from both sides of the river, and Kerry risked his life to save Rassass, and got a boo-boo (bruise) on his arm".
So Kerry got a Silver Star and another Purple Hart.
It's just beyond belief.
This man, not that I had any doubt before this, is such a bold-faced lying you-know-what.
