I don't deny he was on a river in the jungle. The passage in the book, to someone who did not know he was on a Swift boat, would think he was in the middle of the jungle, hand to hand. How do you think a vet who did fight hand to hand would feel about his tale??????
I don't know, I wasn't over there. Can any freeper vets enlighten me? Did soldiers on the ground look down on the Swift boat guys?
