What a waste of life that f***** is! That is one of the reasons I didn't vote for him, he's a pompus a**! Radio show host Don Imus gave him a chance to apologize for his comment but NOOOOOOO Johny wanted to stick it to President Bush AND Former P.O.W. Senator John McCain.

John McCain - "The people who serve our country do not do so because of any lack of education but because they are patriots and their country called on them in a time of need and they responded."

If guys like Kerry would stop attacking President Bush and start formulating ideas about what to do about our current situation then I may consider voting for them but it's so bad right now it feels like the Democrats just want people to go and die in Iraq so they can say "I told you so".







Sorry for the political rant but this just lit my fuse today! And I am sure many others will be pissed about it too, no matter what they think of W or the war.
think he's preety close to hitting the nail on the head.....since the draft was abolished the military has started losing the higher educated and smarter soilders...In my MOS (JOB) I was a Satellite Communications Operator/Repairman...we were only at 40% staffed...we couldn't keep people in because the military couldn't pay anywhere near what outside companies could pay...but the lower Mos's..I.E. MP's, Supply, Light wheel mechanics, basically any job a re re could do were at full staff.....most people going in aren't going in for the money....they are going in because it's the only place they have a shot at making a decent living for thamselves....they would be burger flippers or gas pumpers if not for the military.....almost 90% of the people in the military don't have a college education...http://www.dod.gov/prhome/poprep2002...ation.htm..see for yourself.....Kerry knows this and I agree...we need to bring back the draft in order to have a better military.....being brave doesn't mean you're smart.....in fact it might mean you're...well you know....
