That part of "the story" was removed by kerrys web site, it was proven that only kerry's boat took off after the one boat hit a mine, when it took off Rassmann (a Green Beret who just happened to be on kerry's boat that day and was not a member of his crew) fell off the boat into the river, he was disoriented, the other boats that stayed were just a little upriver from his position (kerry's was the most down river when the boat between the group and his hit the mine) when he first surfaced, disorientated from being dumped into the river, he reported gun fire all around his position and imeadiatly dove back down in the murky water. The other boats were sweeping the river banks with 50 cal and other weapons fire. Kerry returned to pick up Rassmann who was scared and disoriented from his ordeal, mostly due to kerry's actions. So while Rassmann credited kerry for saving his life, it was kerry who had put it into jeopardy to begin with. BTW this was the "incident" from which kerry got his 2nd Purple heart, although nobody can explain how he was wounded with "rice" imbedded in his butt which "reportedly" happened during this "firefight" on the river that didn't result in one bullet wound or bullet damage to any of the boats. (BTW the "official" report was based on the one kerry himself filed). Like many other unanswered questions, kerry never signed the forms to release all his records. He hides behind the "Blanket Amnesty" issued by Carter and recieved a pardon for some unknown action. The fact remains, he blasted Bush but refuses to open his own records. The deflection technique is nothing new. Stuntman
