Forum Maniac United States 7,895 Posts | Huum, it would seem that Kerry's boast that he "joined the Reserve Officer Training Corps at Harvard through eagerness to do his duty, and sailed with the Navy for combat as soon as he graduated in 1966so he could serve his country" is not quit truth of the matter. In actuality, Kerry was drafted and tried to get out of military duty so he could spend a year in, where else?, FRANCE. Only AFTER he was denied deferment did he join the Navy. And for those of you who are to cry that at least he volunteered for the Navy keep this in mind. If he had not picked the Navy the DOD would have picked a branch FOR him. As to not violate the AUP here is just a part of the article: "He wrote to his local recruitment board seeking permission to spend a further 12 months studying in Paris, after completing his degree course at Yale University in the mid-1960s. The revelation appears to undercut Sen Kerry's carefully-cultivated image as a man who willingly served his country in a dangerous war - in supposed contrast to President Bush, who served in the Texas National Guard and thus avoided being sent to Vietnam." http://king-of-fools.com/archives/000681.php In case you don't believe the above article you can go to Harvard Crimson paper and read the origional interview with Kerry where is admited this. http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=352185 edited to add: Oh, and PLEASE dont miss the part at the bottom of the interview where is says he want to turn the American Military OVER to the UN!

Simply Nefarious United States 4,875 Posts | If he didn't get drafted, he volunteered. Duh. He wasn't drafted but hey, that is a creative spin. | |

Forum Maniac United States 7,895 Posts | *Looks up at the two posts above* You are right Kinky!!! "I can already hear the liberals ears plugged and chants of lalallalalallalalalallalala..I can't hear you...lalalallaalalala." That is EXACTLY what they are doing!!!! | |

Whip Craic United States 4,369 Posts | From the article: "I stand by my story," he told The Telegraph. "It was a long time ago, and I was 19 at the time, so it is hard to remember every detail. But I do know this: at no point did Kerry contact either me or the Crimson to dispute anything I had written." So, for example, if he never read it - or just didn't care what they'd written... Hardly a rousing endorsement for the validity of the claim that he didn't volunteer. Lynn

Forum Slut United States 1,828 Posts | Hell, I'll post it. These are two of the best paragraphs from the article, IMHO: "He supports a volunteer Army, "if and only if we can create the controls for it. You're going to have to prepare for the possibility of a national emergency, however." Kerry said that the United Nations should have control over most of our foreign military operations. "I'm an internationalist. I'd like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations." On other issues, Kerry wants "to almost eliminate CIA activity. The CIA is fighting its own war in Laos and nobody seems to care." He also favors a negative income tax and keeping unemployment at a very low level, "even if it means selective economic controls."" So...turn over control of our miltary to the UN, and detsroy our intelligence arm. The boy has VISION! | |

Forum Maniac United States 7,895 Posts | God what a nightmare it would be if he actually won. He would strip our intelligence department, tear down the military and then hand our country over to a bunch of foreigners from the UN so THEY could dictate, what we a sovereign nation, could do. Just the thought is enough to make a person sick! DominantnLA: This is in keeping with his Senate voting record. Who says a zebra changes stripes.

Forum Maniac United States 7,895 Posts | Why? President Bush is now ahead in the polls. Kerry's campaign is on a downhill slide and his past is catching up with him. I am not worried on bit about Kerry winning. FirePrincess: ceanthia: God what a nightmare it would be if he actually won.
