The after action report (which was not authored by Kerry) on another boat documents damage to the boat from gun fire.

>>A report on "battle damage" to Thurlow's boat mentions "three 30 cal bullet holes about super structure." According to Thurlow, at least one of the bullet holes was the result of action the previous day, when he ran into another Vietcong ambush.

one out of three does not mean "all."

>>Chenoweth said. "But it didn't happen that way. There wasn't any fire." Although he read his diary entry to a reporter over the phone, he declined to supply a copy.

i'm not saying that kerry is some great war hero, but imho, he did his duty honorably, and does not deserve to be maligned by jealous vets with a vengeful axe to grind.
