I really don't think they want to go there........

When Kerry's requested deferment was denied, he joined the Navy Reserves in hopes of safely sitting out the war. Unfortunately for him, his unit was called up and shipped out. What makes all the lamebrains think he actually volunteered to go to Nam???

He did volunteer for SwiftBoat duty but at the time they were doing mainly coastal patrols so he'd not be in harms way. Only after he joined did the mission change.

Because the media says so. Frankly, I'm wondering if the GOP pundits are aware of Kerry's deferments as there's been ample opportunity to bring it up when the other side condemns Bush, Cheney and today Carville added Ashcroft's deferments. It's so frustrating not to hear them correct the record.
