> You got his number!!!
I might add that the Swifties are not all in agreement
that Kerry is not in fact AWOL over this. My position
is that Kerry can clear it up. He only needs to be asked
to explain how he managed to avoid the drills.
Many thanks for the clarification. It's one big mystery how this wise guy seems to be able to wheedle out of the heavy lifting. While his shipmates are left behind to sweat and dodge bullets
(Yes he did display some valor in Vietnam in his four months but K has done nothing positive since then)
