Swift Boat Coward John O'Niell, You Fucking Dirty Mother-Pimping Liar, You...
ABC News: What Happened in Kerry's Vietnam Battles?: "'Nightline' traveled to Vietnam and found a number of witnesses who have never been heard from before, and who have no particular ax to grind for or against Kerry. Only one of them, in fact, even knew who Kerry is. The witnesses, all Vietnamese, are still living in the same villages where the fighting took place more than 35 years ago. A 'Nightline' producer visited them and recorded their accounts of that day. The accounts were subsequently translated by a team of ABC News translators.
A Village Unchanged
Life along the Bay Hap River in southern Vietnam has changed very little in those years. The river is lined with small hamlets and isolated shacks reachable only by boat. They are surrounded by marshland, separated by winding canals, and concealed by thick walls of vegetation.
The canals lead to Tran Thoi village, the coordinates of which are publicly available in the U.S. military's after-action report on the 1969 battle. The Vietnamese government initially rejected 'Nightline's' request to visit the village, saying it did not want to somehow influence the U.S. presidential election. Once 'Nightline' explained that the intention was to simply find out what the Vietnamese people remember and think of what happened there, permission was granted.
On Feb. 28, 1969, a convoy of three American Swift boats came up the river under the command of Lt. John Kerry, arriving at the village of Tran Thoi. According to Kerry's medal citation, the boats 'came under intense automatic weapons and small arms fire from an entrenched enemy force less than 50 feet away. Unhesitatingly, Lieutenant [junior grade] Kerry ordered his boat to attack.'
The Swift boats, which were transporting a group of the Americans' South Vietnamese allies, turned into the ambush..."Link...
(And in case anyone doesn't know who "O'Niel" is, just as well. If you see his gravelly-white death stare on TV, you know he has been playing grease the dipstick in a dark closet a little too long. He ended up, with all that hate he has for the statesmanly HERO John Kerry, as nothing more than a two-bit ambulance chaser in a DC slum.) *aj*
