Not on the same boat.....
I continued to be amazed at the ridiculous statements used by the "talking heads talking points" Democratic spokespersons concerning eyewitness accounts of actions taken by John Kerry. Lanny Davis even went as far as to categorize such accounts as lies because the eyewitnesses were "not" on the same boat as John Kerry." As these images graphically illustrate, one did not have to physically be on the same boat during a Swift Boat operation to be intimately acquainted with both what was going on in an accompanying boat or also with the people aboard those boats:
In addition, when the boats returned from a mission, everyone lived and ate and bunked on/in the same living quarters: a berthing ship, LST or
small base. Swift Boat divisions were very small. Everybody knew all of the other people intimately and well. Whether they got along with them or not. The Swift Boat sailors that "served with John Kerry" definitely had as much or more contact with him as any of his assigned crewmen.
