Jim Rassmann, an Army veteran who was saved by Kerry, said there were only six crewmates who served with Kerry on his boat. Five support his candidacy and one is deceased.

The Kerry campaign has denounced the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, saying none of the men in the ad served on the boat that Kerry commanded. The leader of the group, retired Adm. Roy Hoffmann, said none of the 13 veterans in the commercial served on Kerry's boat but rather were in other swiftboats within 50 yards of Kerry's.

This needs to be pointed out to AS. He constantly harps that 13 men who served with Kerry stood with him on the stage.

Jim Rassman, the guy who Kerry saved is quoted as saying there are only 5 remaining who served. So the other 8 are supporters who didn't serve on his crew..

Swift Boat men are not supporters who were right next to him on a daily basis.
