[I still care]

Excellent find. I especially find interesting this quote:

"Kerry said that the United Nations should have control over most of our foreign military operations. "I'm an internationalist. I'd like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations."

Also it seems he was preparing for a political run months before even getting out of the Navy. That supports the theory that he was using his Vietnam service as a platform for his future, super 8 and all.

Thanks. I found this one interesting, too:

"When he approached his draft board for permission to study for a year in Paris, the draft board refused and Kerry decided to enlist in the Navy."

Was he trying, at first, to dodge? I thought his first instinct was to serve? Isn't that what he led us to believe in his DNC speach?
