Even CNN Can't Spin It ..

Kerry told a college crowd Monday: "You know education, if you make the most of it, and you study hard, and you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq." - USA

I imagine he has a hard time with serviceacademy nominations. What, wrecking those poor students' lives like that...


As all of you know, I tend to keep my own politics off this site. However, this being a MILITARY school ... and given the phone conversation I had this evening with someone who is in Iraq right now:

Him: What did you put as your duty station?
Me: Heh, does it matter? All roads lead to Iraq, right? It's just a place to PCS out of ...
Him: Yeah, you're not kidding ...

Shortly after that, the phone cut out. Not unusual in such circumstances, as I'm sure many of you know.

You've heard the quote, 'There are two types of soldiers in the Army today: those that have already been to Iraq and those waiting to go.' (couldn't find link)

Sorry, all the soldiers I know aren't/weren't in Iraq because they "didn't do their homework."

Someone tell Kerry that our military isn't a dumping ground for the illiterate (that's the Guidon! ... ooo ... just kidding, guys!)

While you're at it, teach him about run-on sentences.

Not everyone here is seeking a commission. Those of us that are, apparently ... well ... draw your own conclusions because my ranting will not do much for those that far into stupidity's grip.

As for the "botched joke" defense ...

"Kerry was supposed to say, "I can't overstress the importance of a great education. Do you know where you end up if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq." CNN

... does that not make Kerry look dumber? Oh, Zinger! Good one, except you landed the punch line on the entire US Armed Forces dedicated to protecting your dumb ass trying to insult the Commander in Chief. Yeesh.

I know someone he can hire to write jokes for him ... about causing hurricanes an' stuff ;o)

I am not ashamed to be from Massachusetts.

I am ashamed that HE is representing Massachusetts.

As a soldier (yes, I earned that title), as a student, and as an American - those three do go together - someone tell him that.

Notice here that all statements were made from linked/documented news facts, personal experiences, and opinions noted as exactly that. My opinion has always been that Kerry is a raging dumbass. Formulate your own.
