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?

It fits his pattern: He dodged the draft before he enlisted.
