Hey, you may be on to something. Let's look at that again:

Yep, that Kerry's a heck of a guy. Not only did he volunteer for some of the most dangerous combat duty, he wanted responsibility along with it. That's a great pro-Kerry sound bite.

Oh yeah, and he said:

Kerry knew that he had three choices: be drafted, seek a deferment for graduate school, or join up and position himself to become an officer.
Notice it doesn't say anything about joining to further his political career. Sure the next paragraph mentions he was aware that combat duty benefitted Kennedy, but that's hardly evidence that he joined strictly for that reason. If his volunteering was politically motivated he surely would have taken a much less dangerous position.

I know, I know - the camera. There are millions of photos and video shots taken by guys in country. Does that mean they all had political agendas?
