Dr Letson said the schrapnel was not from a bullit but was the type that was consistent with a grenade.

But I guess that amount of research would amount to actually reading the book or listening to interviews.

My point was that basically, Runyon is trying to back-up the Kerry story but cannot explain where the injury came from because there was no grenade launcher and could not remember receiving any incoming.

Where then did the "shrapnel that was removed by Dr. Letson come from?

I forgot to add that I do believe Dr. Letson when he says that the metal was consistent with grenade schrapnel.

My question remains that since Runyon can't explain it as coming from a grenade, exactly how did that 3/4" pencil lead thick piece of metal get stuck in the poodle's arm?
