"Actually, as I pointed out, all the information we have available is that he was getting off the helicopter TO GET A BEER. "

See, that is the point I've been trying to make.

This is just spin.

He was supposed to help set up a radio station on that mountain top. He also knew there were some people there he knew. So, instead of your spin that he had made a special stop or something, it appears as if he was just combining two things because of proximity.

This is what I mean by a flat out lie. Coulter and others took existing information and spun it.

And you have bought into it.

Per my link, the grenade was someone else's. They had stepped forward and stated it by at least the early 1990s.

So, no. The information you claim that is all we have is mostly spin. And it is spun in such a way that it is pretty clear the intent is to cast Max in the worst possible light.

The "15 miles from the combat zone" is another one. The combat zone claimed is the one where Max had participated earlier in the day. The mountain top where the radio relay was to be set up came under attack while they were working on it. So, clearly the area in question was also in a combat zone. Which makes sense, what would be the point of setting up a relay station in an area where the enemy wasn't?
