Mercy me Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I know a lot of people in the military. Many of my friends and many in my family serve or have served. They are a whole lot smarter than this guy. This attack makes me angry and grateful that he is not our Commander-in-Chief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Knight Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I watched the video clip on YouTube, and his "Apology". [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLuMWiQ6r2o"]Belittling Troops[/url] [url="http://hotair.com/archives/2006/10/31/video-kerry-refuses-to-apologize-for-insulting-american-troops/"]The Apology[/url] Warning: The comments on the refuse to apologize video page contain explicit language. Oh and by the way, if people like Kerry actually spent some time with the ground troops, they would learn that having a degree does not necessarily mean you are smarter than a soldier who doesn't. The technical expertise that soldier's need to master in today's military is light years beyond what Kerry had to when he served. Kerry is a poor representative of Vietnam Veterans.

HeavenlyCalling Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Hat's off to you Red Knight!! John Kerry in my opinion cant tell right from left, but what he said was terrible and really should make a VERY public apology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest T-Bone Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 A Liberal never apologizes. Unless it's for something his ancestors did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Knight Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Just heard on Hannity, the National Commander of the American Legion just called for John Kerry's apology for his remarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KizlarAgha Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Ah yes, I've forgotten that the standards are so much higher in drunken fraternities. The funny thing is, my brother is in the army and he can't seem to get sent to Iraq no matter how hard he tries. He's been in training for over a year now. He really wants to deploy, but it just isn't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thessalonian Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Kerry claims it was a botched joke (slam) about Bush. I.e. insert foot in mouth. Then in his "apology" speach he said "Iraq is a failure and I'm not going to stand around and let it be a success". Once again insert foot in mouth.

I keep forgetting that it is politically beneficial for the left only if the USA loses (or if the voters think we are losing) [quote] And at a hastily arranged news conference in Seattle, Kerry said: "[b] I apologize to no one[/b] ..." ---10/31/2006 4:52pm AP[/quote] This is the same chump that said our troops were the terrorists, isn’t it? Man alive, I’m glad he isn’t our president. Edited November 1, 2006 by Lounge Daddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Era Might Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 They don't provide the context before and after. I read elsewhere that he was taking a shot at Bush (who is always joked on for his intelligence), not at the troops. I'll have to hear the full context to be offended. But, even supposing that he was talking about the troops, there is an element of truth there, that people without many options join the military for the benefits, to escape a menial life. This is an opportunity for exploitation by military recruiters. That doesn't mean you're stupid, it's just a fact that the more education you have, the more options you have.
