Senator Kerry owes an apology to the many thousands of Americans serving in Iraq, who answered their country's call because they are patriots and not because of any deficiencies in their education. Americans from all backgrounds, well off and less fortunate, with high school diplomas and graduate degrees, take seriously their duty to our country, and risk their lives today to defend the rest of us in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.
They all deserve our respect and deepest gratitude for their service. The suggestion that only the least educated Americans would agree to serve in the military and fight in Iraq, is an insult to every soldier serving in combat, and should deeply offend any American with an ounce of appreciation for what they suffer and risk so that the rest of us can sleep more comfortably at night. Without them, we wouldn't live in a country where people securely possess all their God-given rights, including the right to express insensitive, ill-considered and uninformed remarks.

Senator Kerry's remarks insulting our men and women in uniform tells us much about his feelings. Although he's tried defending the remarks it won't cut it to any reasonable listener. After all, he was speaking to a group of students!
ReplyDeleteNote, a very quite Dem Party on this.
Scary, how this man got so close to the Presidency. Thank God for the Swifties! Fred Garvin
