Actually, he had about an equal chance of being sent to Europe.  Not
everyone who was drafted went to Viet Nam.

So everyone who enlisted in the Navy during that period rather than being
drafed was less than patriotic?  What about those in the Air Force?

  After having his
request for an additional deferment denied and therefore facing the fact
that he would be drafted INTO THE ARMY AND SENT TO NAM AS A GRUNT IN THE
BUSH, Kerry enlisted in the Navy.

Actually, he had about an equal chance of being sent to Europe. 
Not everyone who was drafted went to Viet Nam.

After giving it
some brief thought I remembered, enlisting in the Navy was a way
often used by those who didn't want to be drafted into the ARMY. 
  

So everyone who enlisted in the Navy during that period rather than being
drafed was less than patriotic?  What about those in the Air
Force?
