Kerry needs to go to Iraq and spend time with these allegedly uneducated troops and contractors. But of course he'd find no welcome, and probably not even an open cot in the whole of the theatre.

He DID go to Iraq at some point. A friend (a blackhawk pilot) who returned last year from a year's tour told of how his group was in charge of ferrying Kerry around and how they absolutely loathed every minute of it. He said they were treated like his "house boys" and made to wait on him. He was disliked prior to his visit, and his haughty demeanor and attitude only served confirm their perceptions.

Kerry has no interest in seeing what these men and women are doing, or what they are all about. His only concern is his next photo op, and self promotion.
