Senator Kerry volunteered to go to Vietnam, not once, but twice, two tours of duty,... Bravo Sierra! He didn't volunteer for a tour of duty on USS Gridley. He went where his ship was sent.
Westpac deployments were always referred to as cruises and never as tours. We knew the difference and so should they.

He enlisted as an officer rather than be drafted into the Army.
The second time he was sent to Vietnam, he requested swift boats because, at that time, swift boats were NOT engaged in battles!
