A possibility ? - "Military history in the gunpowder age is replete with stories of units convinced they were taking enormous fire, when in fact the troops are hearing their own sides' fire and "responding." Given the description of the Swift-boats as fairly loud and noisy, it seems to me that it is eminently plausible to have a few rounds coming in, and start returning fire, and believe that you're in a massive firefight when the other side's already skedaddled. (If a mine had been set off, it would certainly make sense for the VC to have run, having done as much damage as they were likely to do.) This does NOT mean that anybody lied on their citations, or even in their recollections. Even if VC who had been in the engagement were brought forward and confirmed that they'd run off, it doesn't mean that the vets didn't THINK they were under fire.

I can't give you a direct url to just the comment but the blog post is transterrestrial.com Another one at that same site When Will Kerry And Edwards ...demand that this (http://www.awolbush.com/) web site come down? After all, it's what they expect Bush to do. transterrestrial.com
