Senator Kerry. How many deferments did you seek, and how many did you receive? Is it not true that you enlisted because after a year of deferment, you asked for further deferment to study in PARIS, had been turned down and you chose to enlist in the Navy and hoped to avoid direct combat, as opposed to being drafted into the branches which saw MORE action?
