McCain: "An Insult to Every Soldier Serving in Combat" Posted by JOHN MCINTYRE | E-Mail This | Permalink | Email RCP McCain Calls on Kerry to apologize (via Drudge)

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.

If you haven't seen the video clip it is 10 seconds long and right here. His words and tone say everything about John Kerry and it one of the core reasons he is not President.

I still can't stand McStain but at least he'll use the media's love affair with him for something use for for a change.

Remember this?

"And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the – of – the historical customs, religious customs," Kerry said...

Yale grades portray Kerry as a lackluster student

''I always told my Dad that D stood for distinction," Kerry said yesterday in a written response to questions, noting that he has previously acknowledged that he spent a lot of time learning to fly instead of focusing on his studies.

What does Kerry's combat time add up to? Four months?

Exactly! McCain publicly saying something might be the only way Kerry's crap gets covered by the drive-by.

Turds like Kerry despise the military because they traditionally lean towards the Conservative side - his recent comments will only increase the disdain that much of the military already feels towards the dimmocrats.

Good, I say.

Further proof that politicians are the ones likely to have "deficiencies in their education."

The Lame Brain is excellent on defense issues.

And real poor on everything else.
