John Kerry actually said...

"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."

"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."

"Blasting Kerry. Democratic nominee John Kerry shredded by Republican speakers. Is he in need of some damage control?"

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