I’m no fan of Hanoi John’s, but it looks like a case of one news writer added some spice and others ran with it. From my experience on the same rivers I doubt a thin skinned Swift boat could take 188 hits from anything bigger than a .22 short.

Kerry, you'll recall, is the thrice-wounded Vietnam naval veteran I knew that he was a rice-wounded Veteran (who served on BOTH sides of the war).

I suppose that unarmed Vietnamese kid that Gigolo John shot in the back threw a handful of gravel at the swift boat. Gigolo John probably found 188 pebble on the deck after he ran the fleeing kid down and murdered him.

I’ve considered that as a possibility, but to me it seems more likely Tiede was repeating publicity material he got from Kerry’s campaign—it’d seem strange for a reporter to just pull the number “188” out of thin air, for one thing. Tiede’s still around, hopefully he will comment on the circumstances of the article, or other articles will surface indicating whether or not other journalists covering Kerry reported similar claims.

Must have been 188 grains of rice that flew out of the bag.

He was rice-wounded before he was thrice-wounded.
