Douglas Brinkley, in his own words, describes Rassmann's position.

"Now, did he risk getting court-martialed or being reprimanded? Sure. But those are minor risks compared to saving lives. For example, when talking about the day Kerry charged up the river to save Army Lieutenant Jim Rassman who had been blown off a neighboring Swift boat by an explosion, and was taking sniper fire in the river, people say, well, he risked his life to save Rassman. "

.................... Thanks Linda Eddy at iowapresidentialwatch.com ..............


- No hostile fire. Only PCF-3 mined. Kerry runs. No other boats damaged -


Gee Mr Brinkley .........

Are you going to have to make ANOTHER "correction" to your book ??

Why, who cares?
After 8 years of Klinton, 45 -50 % of the electorate and 95% of the media are either incapable of being embarrassed or of giving a darn.
