John Kerry actually said...

"Every single one of us wants to extend to him our best wishes, our prayers, and our thoughts..."

"I think two terms at Vietnam qualifies one to be commander-in-chief more than five deferments."

"I'm not going to have my commitment to defend this country questioned by those who refused to serve when they could have and by those who misled the nation into Iraq."

"I guess I'll leave it up to the voters whether five deferments makes someone more qualified to defend this nation than two tours of duty."
