That's not the real story. He was hopping into a helicopter when a grenade fell from where he was keeping it. Unbeknownest to him it had snagged on part of his uniform and pulled the pin. He reached down to pick it up and it immediately blew off one arm and a leg. Another leg had to be amputated later.

So it's not like he lost his limbs storming Hanoi on a one man mission but he wasn't playing with it either.

Okay, we'll have to differ since I've read the story the way I posted it.

Can you offer some link or resource where I can find out the truth?
