Does any military take offense to Skerry' inuendo that soldiers are dumb?

LeAnne

It wasn't an "innuendo," - no gray area here - it was a statement of opinion.

John Kerry hasn't shut his lying mouth since the Congressional Hearings in 1967. He might realize that - alright, already, even though we're dumb, we get his message - he's against the war, against the troops, against any realistic defense of America and pretty much living in his own little, imaginary, plastic bubble of fantasy.

He has consistantly shown that his political ambitions are more important than anything that might be in America's best interests.

If the Democrats didn't hold him in such high esteem, his stupid statements wouldn't even be newsworthy.

I'm not and I'm offended, but then this is hardly the worst thing uttered by a democrat or mccaine.
- nazi's
- deathcamp guards
- terrorists
- losers
- fascists
- baby killers
I mean these are all actual names used by democrats in the recent past,

Well one of the reasons that I served in the military was so that anyone in this country could get up and say any damn fool thing they pleased.

I don't find his comment fair, but not really offensive. I don't think he meant that all people in the military are dumb. Every officer in the military has to have a college education, so I guess the succeeded academically. Lets face it though, many people join up because they don't have another option. Of course, just as many or more people fail academically and end up strung out on crack and alcohol. Guess Sen Kerry didn't want to add those options for the college kids.

It's just important to remember that not everyone, myself included, in the military joined because it was their last option. Many of us didn't expect to be in Iraq, but that didn't change my decision - and I had plenty of time to back out.

Yes, the military will help you pay for college, but that doesn't mean that everyone who asked them for help is poor. I could have afforded college on my own, but they offered me a scholarship. If you want to join, why would you say no to that?

That wasn't a lib attitude, that was stupidity. There can't be an American (regardless of political affiliation) that wasn't offended.

You should stop saying our military is wimpy and thin skinned. You should apologize.

What he said is true. Stay in school= get a good job, drop out and join the army= get stuck in Iraq. What's the problem?

Whoops, is this your spleeen?

Nobody has explained it to them yet.

Kerry didn't say soldiers are dumb. He said they didn't navigate the educational system very well, which by and large is true. Less education doesn't mean you're dumb, it means you don't have as many choices. When you don't have as much education, one of the better choices is the military.

Are you going to try to tell me that most of the people serving in Iraq planned that when they signed on? Hell no. It was a job. Or a way to pay for college. Most did not sign on hoping to actually fight.

Boring

the innuendo is more that soldiers are poor and need to join the army to get an education. if i am not mistaken, that is true, isn't it?

how many millionaire's children are serving in iraq?

also, why are the right-wing so rabid about this? has freedom of speech died in the US? i know Bush's patriot laws attacked your freedoms, but didn't realise they went that far.
