That is an awesome photo. I have emailed everyone on my list. This "not on the same boat" is weak but not so if the they use "ship" and the listener is not knowledgable.

you're beautiful

someone with patience, who doesn't have grad school applications to do, should email those out to every lib talking out they can find.

Another poster made a good point in another thread about this claim. Remember, it was Kerry that put up the first picture of him with the 19 other Officers saying he served with all of them. Now, they want to claim they didn't serve togather, since they weren't on the same exact boat?

I guess this logic also would say "not on the same airplane?' Or tank? How about a jeep? Bicycle? C'mon Lanny, your constituents thought you were smarter than that.

You didn't need to be on the same boat to know everyone. We shared the same barracks. Each boat only held 5 to 7 crewmembers. Each barracks probably held 50 or more. There probably weren't 100 to 125 Americans on the base. Believe me everyone knew everyone. Additionally, when the boats went out, they wouldn't normally go out solo.

It's like when you go fishing and see someone in a nearby boat illegally keep an undersize bass or more than the limit.

"not on the same boat" is the new democrat equivalant of Bill Clinton's definition of "is"

Something tells me that the issue of "not in the same boat" has considerably lessened since Brit Hume and MAJ Cowan's discussion, today.

Put 'er down, put 'er down, put 'er down! Exclamation

Interesting photos ... these should be sent to the news moderators/reporters so that they might offer rebuttal to those talking heads.

Facts do not always prevail unfortunately.

And since GWB flew single-seat jets, NO ONE served with him using the Kerry definition of "served with". Therefore, NO ONE is qualified to speak about his service.

For the sake of completeness, perhaps include pictures of the LST, berthing ship, or typical base where the crews would bunk together afterwards.

BTW, what DO the people who served on Kerry's boat actually say?

I don't know how to find any actual data on that. The talking heads usually do a "bait and switch", talking about Rassman, who of course did not actually serve on that boat either, with all due respect to what he went through.

Is that info on a FAQ file somewhere here?
