I've recently read that there were two other people pulled from the water at the same time by another boat. No decoration for that though.

Saw a similar thing on some news show on the little TV at the gym - guy claiming to be an Lt in charge of one of the other boats says that there was no ambush - that a mine detonated. He says no enemy ever opened fire - and implied the mine was not even command detonated.
He said he was really offended in that apparently Kerry implies in his stories that the other boats left - when in fact all available boats came to the rescue, pulling several people from the water and recovering a sick ship - apparently the one that hit the mine.
As for why the one SF officer? You guys should know this - he was clearly on a mission to go up river and terminate the command of a roque Colonel "with extreme prejudice."
Hollywood never lies.
