I'd call it a Freudian slip, myself. He flubbed the line and let out what he thinks about the modern American military.
And even if he was going after Bush, it's all BS anyway. Surely his handlers know that Bush had a HIGHER grade average in college than Jean Francois did, right? I really wonder if he ad-libbed that line and had his handlers screaming "D'OH!!"

That's TWO GENERATIONS OF SOLDIERS kerry now has INSULTED and treated with upmost disrespect.
Positively.
Kerry is a rich kid elitist who views soldiers, sailors, and Marines the same way he views his gardeners and cleaning staff. There is no way to reverse engineer Kerry's own words into a possible "joke" or even into a criticism of President Bush.
Kerry is now lying to try to cover his rear end. What a coward.
