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.

Not a big john mccain fan, but a great slapdown. Just hope the MSM gives this the traction it deserves. Will serve to remind voters why Dems are not to be trusted with our security

Sometimes McCain does the absolute right thing. This is one of those times.

Probably a waste of time. Being liberal means never having to say you're sorry.

BTW, when is John F. Kerry going to actually send in that Form SF-171 that he said he signed?
To: milwguy
Good on McCain.
Kerry really is a complete bastard.

Perhaps, but certainly one of the better ads anyone has run lately.

libs don't aopologize. They dissemble, twist, qualify, parse. But because they believe moral standards and truth are not metters of black and white, they will admit no wrong.

"
You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."-John F. Kerry
That sums up everything a liberal democrat is and believes.

He's not my favorite either, but having McCain say this, as opposed to Cheney or Hastert might actually get it some much needed media attention.

It isn't only insulting, it's inaccurate - the services are turning people away and educational standards have never been higher. If Kerry wants to recall a military that had a bunch of mental defectives foisted on it by a government that treated it like a holding facility for future felons, he ought to remember how it was when he was in. I certainly do. Any other vets out there remember McNamara's Cat IV's?
So the mask slips, and underneath Kerry's carefully assumed regard for the troops is a hateful, contemptuous elitist who thinks of the military as a penalty, not an honor. The men and women in it might beg to differ. God bless them all, and Kerry can kiss my DD214. It's in my hip pocket.
