The story he told was different from what his crewmen had to say about that night. According to Kerry, they had been engaged in a fire fight, receiving small arms fire from on shore. He said that his injury resulted from this enemy action.

Some of his crew confided that they did not receive any fire from shore, but that Kerry had fired a mortar round at close range to some rocks on shore. The crewman thought that the injury was caused by a fragment ricocheting from that mortar round when it struck the rocks.

Sometimes I wonder if those who take great pleasure in criticizing and demeaning, even demonizing, the military service of others, such as longsnot and johnflipflopper, ever served themselves in the military.
