How did they know that the mine was triggered from the foxhole....?

If we assume it was well set up...why wasn't another mine used in the second channel around the fishing weir...the one John F'n "flip-flop fop" Kerry took. ....?....the VC in the foxhole could have detonated them both...or even another foxhole on the other side.

Also why wasn't both mines in the fishing weir exits like the first one. Both boats would have blocked any exit out of the "ambush".

They made the foxhole up in order to introduce the idea that there were people on the shore who could/would shoot. Of course there is no reason for a mine to be detonated by someone on shore. There probably wasn't anyone on shore.

exactly! In the canal map it shows a fire fight at 9:45 and that's where Kerry got riced. Kerry then realizes that being riced from his own self wouldn't get him a PH, proclaims the scrape came from a second firefight that never occurred. Now the vets who claim they were under fire have mistaken the 9:45 incident with Kerry's alleged 2nd mine and Rassy falling overboard incident. Rassy fell overboard because Kerry took off like a bat out of hell. Kerry hit a wave and proclaimed it was a mine to Rassy. Rassy hears suppression fire and is convinced it's in coming.
