But by his own admission, in an account resurfaced by the Boston Globe
some
time back, Kerry did admit he volunteered for Swift boat duty because he
thought it would get him into the theater *without* exposing him to actual
combat. "I didn't really want to get involved in the war," Kerry said in a
little-noticed contribution to a book of Vietnam reminiscences published
in
1986. "When I signed up for the swift boats, they had very little to do
with
the war. They were engaged in coastal patrolling and that's what I thought
I
was going to be doing."

So where does that leave him?


Uhh, wiser than anyone imagined?
