Kerry blows off again

[Phasad1913]

You know, I don't know what Kerry meant inside any more than any of you do, but it can be offered that his statement could be construed as pointing out that the elite, highly educucated, wealthy, etc. etc. etc. are not the ones fighting and dying for the country, it always seems to be those who are worse off in society, i.e. poor, uneducated and others who don't have many resources or a solid social backing who are recruited and sent over there to die. Those who often have to rely on enlisting to try to get money for school or an income or some sort of opportunity in life. This interpretation, given the brevity of the statement, is just as possible as any other. It's interesting the points of view that are being given and how they are representative of peoples' political affinities.

I also want to question why it is that anyone would try to indicate that Kerry, like any other American, would blatantly insult American troops or feel that they were stupid, especially when he, himself, is a veteran. It just wouldn't make any sense. So why put it out there when its obvious that no one would actually feel that way, especially a U.S. Senator. I feel the same way when conservatives say horrible things like democrats are not patriotic just because they don't agree with the way the administration is handling things. You can't disagree without this kind of rediculous criticism.
