Kerry tried to get out of going too, when he couldn't he "volunteered".

Umm...yeah he VOLUNTEERED to go back. And as far as some of the others comments about Kerry's purple hearts. Fuck you. Ggrow up and realize that anyone that diligently serves his or her country deserves your respect and admeration. You make me sick. I for one would not want to go off to war, so anyone that does is a hero in my book. [/b][/quote]
This is not correct, he did not go back. He went over once. Got hurt and got a purple heart. Heard you can get sent back home if you get 3 of them. Somehow got 2 more self inflicted wounds to gain 2 more purple hearts and got sent home. Some war hero!!
What are all these good things he was supposed to have done over there? Have you seen the pictures of him on the boat? The other guys aren't even near him! He was not well liked by the guys on his boat. As far as I am concerned, he didn't serve his country. To waste the military's time training you then only serve 4 1/2 months overseas is not serving your country. Then to come back and throw your medals over the white house fence while you are still a Navy officer, that is just plain wrong (not to mention illegal).
I signed up for 6 years, and served my country for 6 years. My dad volunteered for the Navy for the same reason as Kerry. His number was up for the draft and they were going to put him in the Army, so instead he volunteered and went in the Navy. He didn't want to go, but he went in and served his full term.
