According to the Democratic Party's version of Sen Kerry's military history, he joined the Reserve Officer Training Corps at Harvard through eagerness to do his duty, and sailed with the Navy for combat as soon as he graduated in 1966.

I'm confused. Didn't Kerry go to Yale? Why would he be in the Harvard ROTC?

I read recently that Kerry chose the swift boats for them being the least risky combat assignment in Vietnam. However, I must say I don't know why anyone would have thought that.

That look sto be an error in the research or in the writing of the article. Kerry was in Boston campaigning for Congress AFTER his exploits in Vietnam when he was written up in the Crimson.
