Imagine doing your life's work, your 'calling', and then being told by someone you'd ended up in that career because you hadn't been smart enough to get through college. Perhaps you had already graduated from college. Slightly insulting isn't it? Whether you agree with the war or not that is just what Kerry did to the men and women who are serving in Iraq. There are a lot of careers that would be considered controversial to someone or other...they are too dangerous, too easy, too difficult and personal, too religious, they don't pay enough, they are 'a waste of time'...if you think that our service people are stupid for doing what they do perhaps you should consider that you are an outsider looking in. Remember how it feels to have people judge you.
I got a hilarious picture in an e-mail today. It was a group of servicemen and women holding up a sign that said, "Halp us Jon Carry--we r stuck hear n Irak". I haven't figured out how to include it here. I may or may not bother figuring it out.
