Also,

I have seen other accounts that said there were 5 swift boats on the river that day.

Which is correct, 3 swift boats or 5 swift boats?

I think that you're thinking of a different incident. There have been so many that have been questioned that it's hard to keep them straight.

This guys story conflicts with Kerry's more than it matches it.

Kerry claims he was the one who beached his boat first and charged a bunker of VC. From what I read last night, Rood says it was another crew who stormed the bunker and that John O'Neil is happy this guy came forward.

Two different events. Three in the Silver Star event, where Kerry finished off the VC on dry land. Five in the command-detonated mine Bronze Star event, where Kerry fished Rasmussen out of the water (not) under fire.
