Was Rassman on Kerry's boat or on the boat that hit a mine? I have seen both.

Also, if you end up under water and when you pop out all the boats around you are rockin' and rollin', you would think you were receiving fire from shore. I can understand his mistake.

From what I have read Rassman fell of of kerry's boat when he fled..........

Rassman was on Kerry's boat eating a chocolate chip cookie and fell off when Kerry high-tailed it out of there.

Also, if you end up under water and when you pop out all the boats around you are rockin' and rollin', you would think you were receiving fire from shore. I can understand his mistake.

This is what Odell said yesterday. He thinks Rassman heard the friendly fire. He also pointed out the unbelievable reference to "hostile fire from both sides of the river for 3 miles"

Rassman(paid servant of the Kerry campaign)has stated repeatedly before that he was ON KERRY'S BOAT!

"...you would think you were receiving fire from shore. I can understand his mistake."

I've thought about that too. Add to it that he's probably getting showered with .50 casings from the surrounding boats. I also read early on that Rassman claimed to have submerged to avoid getting hit by the oncoming boats, not enemy fire.

I hate to question him, but has anyone done a bio on Rassman's post Vietnam history? Specifically, Net worth during 70's, 80's, 90's, vs. Now
