And how hard should we guffaw while we note that, as Kerry was
volunteering in Vietnam

Sorry, but Kerry applied to the draft board for a deferment to study in
Paris. When he was turned down, he enlisted in the Navy, with the idea
that
he'd be on a ship at sea somewhere and never have go to Vietnam.

Have any proof of that?

Yes.

The Harvard Crimson newspaper followed a youthful Mr Kerry in Boston as he
campaigned for Congress for the first time in 1970. In the course of a
lengthy article, "John Kerry: A Navy Dove Runs for Congress", published on
February 18, the paper reported: "When he approached his draft board for
permission to study for a year in Paris, the draft board refused and Kerry
decided to enlist in the Navy."

The article was written on February 18th, 1970...so don't try to tell me
that it's just a partisan political attack.
