It would be nice to see a reporter realy dig in and investagate. I get the feeling everything is caned just to much at fox,and the republican reads are to subject to attack. I was on pbr 132 and met his crew at MY Tho in 1968. That was the same day he shot the kid in the back after Tom B . put a couple 50cal rounds in the kids legs. That crew did not think very much of there premadona, that was there to get medels. I think a lot of money can buy a lot of Testamony. Why don't the reporters follow the money. |

Your memory is faulty. The incident took place on a dhong off the Song Bo De in 1V Corps. It happened on 28 Feb 69. _________________ On Sale!

Could you please expand on your statement about meeting Kerry's crew? You might be able to contribute a "real time" snapshot into what they truly were thinking and feeling at the time. Are you certain they claimed that "Tom B . put a couple 50cal rounds in the kids legs"? I have seen what a 50 caliber round can do to a man. I find it hard to believe that a man could get up and run after being hit by even a single round in one leg - even if it didn't hit bone. Maybe Kerry's "heroic" action was even more of an execution than we have been led to suspect. In any case, it would be very informative for you to amplify your statement as much as you can remember. |
