In this account of the Rasmussen story, Kerry refers to other Green Beret's besides Rasmussen. Does anyone know the whereabouts of thos guys?

There was the time we were carrying Special Forces
up a river and a mine exploded under our boat sending it 2
feet into the air. We were receiving incoming rocket and small
arms fire and Tommy was returning fire with his M-60 machine gun
when it literally broke apart in his hands. He was left holding
the pieces unable to fire back while one of the Green Berets
walked along the edge of the boat to get Tommy another M-60. As he
was doing so, the boat made a high speed turn to starboard and the
Green Beret kept going--straight into the river. The entire time
while the boat went back to get the Green Beret, Tommy was without
a machine gun or a weapon of any kind, but all the time he was
hurling the greatest single string of Lowell-Chelmsford curses
ever heard at the Viet Cong. He literally had swear words with
tracers on them!

Uh, could this be another example of (creative) embellishment of the March 13th event? If not, then he sure has a lot of guys in less than 4 months falling off his boat.

That is one thing that is so curious about Kerry. I don't know of anyone who knows anyone that was in Nam that wants to talk about it......in any capacity, except Kerry.
