At least 3 people who were present -- Kerry and the two enlisted guys

Only one guy -- who may, or may not have been there -- has said
something to dispute what the other three have said. And he did that
35 years after the fact.
Oh, and as for the great Dr Letson, well, he testified that he treated
the wound. That is all he is qualified to say about the situation.

He sure did -- and they show that he lied repeatedly about how long he
served in Vietnam.
