Sorry, don't get the joke. Why would a Colonel do word play? Too much Memorial Day libations? If so, you're not alone.
A group of soldiers serving in Iraq fire back at John Kerry’s perceived slam on U.S. troops by holding up a banner reading “Halp us Jon Carry - We R stuck hear n Irak.”
When Kerry ran in 04 he made an assinine remark about the importance of education or else you could wind up in Iraq. Suggestion being that our troops are dumb and uneducated.
