There are serious questions about Kerry's war record. He claims in recent interviews he enlisted in the Navy out of a sense of civic duty. Yet, in 1970, he told the Harvard Crimson he first appealed to the draft board to allow him to study in France for a year. Only after he was turned down did he enlist.

Very nice.

It is easy to understand that JFnK wanted his JFK moment on the 1960's version of PT-109. So there he was, 8mm camera in hand when he got the word, "oh, by the way, we're going inland ladies, saddle up."

Also, we should remember that at the time G Dub signed up for Air National Guard, the F-102 was being used in Vietnam and National Guard units were being assigned to Vietnam, so G Dub did have the very real expectation of being in combat.

The F-102 was a fairly dangerous plane to fly with nearly 10% of them winding up in crashes.  Not exactly an "easy way" to stay out of combat.

He wanted to serve on a PT boat, but they didn't have any of them in Vietnam.

[N. Theknow]

Once again, Kerry is caught pissing on America's leg.

BUT, the MSM never seems to get tired of reporting that it is raining?

One HELL of a vacuum is being created by the total lack of journalistic integrity.

I just can't help it...I'm getting a SWIFT kick in the pants out of all of this, laughing all the way.

I thought I had seen that somewhere!! Good job....

But two weeks after he arrived in Vietnam, the swift boat mission changed -- and Kerry went from having one of the safest assignments in the escalating conflict to one of the most dangerous


And when it became dangerous, he started his get out of 'nam free, collection!!(purple hearts)

(Excerpts of) Kerry's record speaks for itself.

WOW, I will bet the media will be all over this. Don't you think?

I mean they went after Bush's dental records with a vengeance, so I would expect they would go after this little Kerry white lie with the same zeal.

Nice work Adam, but don't hold your breath.

Maybe John Edwards will represent you in the suit. </sarcasm>

"I didn't really want to get involved in the war," Kerry said in a little-noticed contribution to a book of Vietnam reminiscences published in 1986. "When I signed up for the swift boats, they had very little to do with the war. They were engaged in coastal patrolling and that's what I thought I was going to be doing."

I don't remember how I heard this, but I heard it a long time ago about Kerry. Maybe some military genius detective could check it out. Maybe it came from his first book, the one with the upside down flag?
Anyway, I heard he asked to go to college overseas instead of going into the military, but his request was denied. He was given a choice - enlist, or be drafted.
I'm a housewife (a girl!), so I don't know that much about how enlistment works and stuff. I wouldn't have the faintest idea how to check this out, and the old Kerry the communist sympathizer book is no longer in print.

Good one!
