The first public statement I've seen about this was from 1979.

And read my later posts. His campaign is backing away from this one.
They say he was there, but later. As I said yesterday, BFD.

Meanwhile, the only Swift vet who actually served on Kerry's boat says this creek was too small for their boat:

Rassman, who spent less than a week on his boat and barely knew Kerry at all, made it clear Kerry pulled him out of the water and earned his Bronze Star (he recommended him for Silver). Kerry was not hurt in the Rassman incident and no Purple Heart came out of it. It's bad enough Ty is whitewashing these stories. Et tu, SAMmy?
Whitewash my ass. Rassman was defending the Bronze Star. No one is saying that Rassman can speak to Kerry's entire tour of duty -- but Glenn Reynolds intimates that his defense of Kerry is meaningless because he wasn't there for the other incidents.
