This is about the 4th time I've posted this but Mark Levin had a vet named Chenowith on his show. He watched the 3 boat go up in the air in front of him. Kerry's boat took off down the river. His boat and another boat stayed by the 3 boat. He said that from his vantage point 14 ft in the air, at no time was there enemy fire from the banks. That was including the time that Kerry just beat him to Rassman. He had already picked up 2 other people. I think he made the point about his high vantage point because Rassman was "bobbing" in the water and was not in a good position to judge if there was enemy fire.
If anyone who listened to Mark is around, I'd appreciate any additions. ( or corrections. )
I heard it and you got it right. :-)
Well, I'm glad you posted it again here!
