283. John Kerry was Naval Reserve (just to clarify)
When Kerry was in Vietnam, he was in the US Naval Reserve. He full well knew he was going to Vietnam, but, he was in the Reserves. The difference is more semantic than anything, there is a possibility that any National Guard unit can be called up, but, that is pretty remote. Hence, that's why the shrub joined in Texas. He beats the draft, got to fly, and didn't have to go.

Check on http://www.johnkerry.com/pdf/jkmilservice/Honorable_Discharge_From_Reserve.pdf I just don't want to belittle those that served in the Reserves, they fought in Vietnam too.

I think Bush's little ad is VERY deceptive, but, technically, in a court of law sort of situation, would it hold up? I think it just might. :shrug:

But, this is out there too, along with all of the other AWOL documents, and the chinks in his armor are becoming gaping holes. Great work for digging this up!!!
