O'Neill was wonderful. I had never heard that Kerry's boat actually fled and the only one that fled when the other swiftboat was blown up. He came back after the enemy fired ended and scooped up Rassman from the water. The other boats maintained position throughout and rescued the other 3 from the water. Probably none of them put in for medals for it/

LOL- ok- here's the spin- Kerry spokesman is now on.

He came back after the enemy fired ended and scooped up Rassman from the water.

According to a vet named Chenowith, who was on the boat that was blown up, other than the mine there was no enemy fire.

that may well be one of the reasons Kerry's crew is sticking with him.....

All I could do was laugh when that came out on the show. I had not heard this before tonight, is this new information? Have others heard about this before tonight?

So Kerrry fled? Why am I not surprised?
