His point didn't seem to be about his participation to me when I recently watched a clip. He seems to be stressing that government solutions to problems are sometimes more of a hindrance than a help, which as long as the story involving Lee and the boats is accurate and I haven't seen any claims that it isn't, Jindal's direct participation is kind of incidental.
Sure, it would have been more accurate to say, "a few days after Katrina I heard a story from Sheriff Lee about bureaucrats limiting the rescue. Sheriff Lee said that a few days before. . . " but when Jindal heard about it seems pretty unimportant to the overall point to me.
