Jean-Francois Kerre` is perfidious on his best days, and that is being generous in praise. He gives lying scoundrels everywhere a bad name, and there is no honor in the guy.
Another reason why universal military training is simply wasted on some people, and why the draft is such a dreadful way of recruiting cannon fodder. Kerry enlisted specifically to AVOID the draft, which made his service no less compulsory. And he resented every minute.
The draft is NOT recruiting, but press ganging.
