Yes, sir. We sure will. I have save the URL to that on my FR Word file for future reference.
In the next paragraph, p. 72: "Kerry could not help but sense the irony of his being a war hero, since he had not wanted to fight in the war at all... ...Though he questioned the policy behind the war, he did not see either jail or exile as a reasonable alternative for himself; besides, he says he 'believed very strongly in the code of service to one's country.' So he enlisted in the Navy, to see for himself what was going on and at the same time to stay out of combat. To that end, he volunteered for assignment on one of the swift boats--short, fast aluminum craft that were used for patrol duty off the Vietnam coast. Two weeks before he arrived in Vietnam, the Navy began changing the deployment of the boats, sending them up the rivers instead to ferret out pockets of Viet Cong that were guarding the waterways for their own use."
This is probably the reason, look for it to hit the media soon.
