This was an article from 25 years ago, but I don't think Kerry's idea's have changed much, of course unless it is the prudent thing to do.
One thing this articles tells people, with the talk of Bush' Natl.
Guard service, Kerry tried to pull a Clinton and go to France. When that didnt work he JOINED the navy, probably the safest service to be in.
2 tours of duty in Viet Nam? Seving on a ship in the Gulf of Tonkin, though very boring was not dangerous. Why did he volunteer to serve on the swift boats? He is a Kennedy wanabe, and we have all heard the story of PT109. It says he was SLIGHTLY wounded twice. We have heard the story from the sailor he rescued, after he had originally pulled his boat out. Have we ever heard from the sailors that remained on the boat? Could it have been "Jawn boy, We better turn this tub around and go back and get him, or you will will swimming back to Saigon". Would just like to hear from the others. BRING IT ON!!!
