So what? He used the legal system to delay serving and then he enlisted to serve as an officer? You apparently don't understand enlisted men and women are not officers. They can if they have the other requirements in place qualify for officer's candidate school after basic training. I was in the Air Force in the Navy they call it boot camp. I was enlisted for four years and by then had completed my degree in chemistry. I applied for and was commissioned as a 2nd Lt. John Kerry either was in Navy ROTC while in college or he earned his commission through Officer's Candidate School or he received a battle field commission. Those are very rare and even more so now that all Officers have to be College Educated.

I enlisted in the air force so I could pick what I did in the service. I suppose you would say I dodged the draft by joining the Air Force? I am not a Kerry fan in fact I've never voted for a Democrat and I sure don't expect to vote for Kerry. I have been a Bush fan for many years. W. doesn't walk on water but then he never said he could. Attack Kerry all you want but don't pick on his service record? Its honorable and when you try to dis his honorable service you stomp on the toes of a lot of very good brothers and sisters of mine.
