I find it amusing that you think Bush was in active service when he was working on a GOP campaign in Alabama and going to Harvard, but Kerry was not in active service when he was serving full-time in the Navy but not actually on a 55-foot aluminum boat on the Mekong River.

When he went on leave to work on the campaign, it was his 5th year in the Guard.
After Kerry's attempts at deferment failed (and he could no longer go study/hide in France), and after he volunteered to join the non-combat Swift Boats - whose mission, unbeknownst to him at the time - was altered, and then served (according to his own Senate testimony, as a war criminal) on this 55-foot boat and "hurt" himself the third time, it was his 4th month.
