Whatever it was, it was enough to get him a commission in the USN.

When I was in the Navy anyone with a college degree would get a commission. It didn’t matter if it was Biochemical Engineering or Basket Weaving.

For the Navy, any degree, or none at all can get you one.

Not a big or complaint, just a fact.

A congressman did it.

Well, hell, I knew some of them doofus's that got commissioned with degrees in Basket Weaving.

All it takes is a degree in something, and Kerry has shown that it sure as hell doesn't do much for his competence, regardless of what it was, other than lying and grandstanding.

Which, come to think of it, is what a heck of lot of them shavetails were good at, until the real world caught up with them and they were forced out...as it should have been.
