A shot in the bar?

According to The Washington Post, in the middle of the afternoon on March 13, 1969, a second explosion thought to be caused by a rocket or rocket-propelled grenade blew James Rassmann off the 50-foot PCF-94 Swift boat into the Bay Hap River.

When he surfaced, Rassmann said, bullets were "snapping overhead," as well as hitting the water around him.
As John Kerry pulled Rassmann from the river, Kerry thought he was going to be shot in the head.
I do not care what the report says; to me, that makes John F. Kerry a real war hero.

Kerry's own crew members on the PCF-94 have remained loyal to him and praised his decisions.

Half a world away, around the same time that Kerry was dragging Rassmann out of the water in Vietnam, in the middle of the night in Texas, where do you think George W. Bush was on March 13, 1969?
Probably sitting on a barstool in Texas having a good time and drinking a lot of beer.

That may make Bush a hero to the Republicans, but to me, he's just another drunk that was nowhere to be found when it came time for him to serve his country.

We can do better.
