About that Bronze Star engagement

McQ say he has finally figured out what the New York Times missed in their recent article about the incident for which John Kerry earned his bronze star.

There was no reported small arms fire around the mine. There was no reported VC KIA or WIA at that time. Those all took place in the previous Mike Force operation, not the mine detonation.
Which explains why the PCFs were able to spend 90 minutes on site, saving the 3 boat and its crew before towing it in and not suffering one single solitary casualty from small arms or any other type of fire.
