I am going to make a suggestion, but I am on the outside looking in.

The press and the the Kerry campaign in a cornerstone of Kerry's assertations is Mr. Rasmussen. Without his presence any definable asseration by Kerry disappears. I am not suggesting a smear of Mr. Rasmussen. He did his hitch so a tip of the hat to him. But it is odd that a single Special Forces operative was on a SWIFT. I thought SF's worked in teams?

Actionable items

- Attempt to find the CO of the SF unit in question. Inquire if there were defined orders for his presence. All on the up and up of course.

- Who were Mr. Rasmussen's team members? What is their recollection of that day if any?

I think the documentation from that angle would speak for itself.

I would think there are separate action reports for SF, than Navy.

.....ask the question: How many of JK's boatmates were awarded PH's and stars over the same time period of Nov68 to March 69?

And compare/contrast the action that lead to those awards to what JK got them for. I think that would be an intersting read. But I could be wrong.

Irb111,

You are of course right. I was not suggesting that the SWIFT command would have any AAR's for the SF team. But if the SWIFT and SF were working a combined forces action there would be documentation from the SF command chain. Finding the CO during that time period would be my first run at finding the information.

And another thing: The name is Rassman not Rasmussen.
