Kerry made a stupid mistake, and now he will pay for it.

You guys got "all soldiers are idots" from that comment? All I got from it was an expression of the abuse of the military by this administration.
How did you get that? 😆 Now if he had said it like it was written, then that would have been the meaning. But he screwed it up.

Perhaps I've missed an aspect of the story. But by saying that students who don't get good grades risk ending up in Iraq isn't calling them idiots. He's saying that so many students who fail to succeed in school get less help for college and end up falling for the "we'll pay for your college education" line used by army recruiters. So, if you look at what he said, he was more insulting poor kids than he was soldiers. And even then it wasn't an insult, it's the truth.
Well for the sake of technicality this is what he said:
"You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."
Or.....
The soldiers in our military are the ones who sucked at school.

Okay. I've not seen the specific quote. I was out the door early today and I didn't hear the exact quote, and it's still early yet so I'm sure I'll see it on the news tonight. In fact, I'm sure that FOX news will talk about it non-stop. But, yeah, that does sound bad.

So what. Isn't it true to some extent.

It is true to an extent. But someone like Kerry should know when it's time to just know something and when to actually say something outloud.
Well, I think that is bullshit. I see that it is made that way in politics today. But I find it iditotic. I think the truth should be said regardless of who will feel insulted. he is right. It ridiculous, people assume that politicans have to stick to some standard of speaking and what not to be said. Why?

Well, I agree, he did not intend it that way but it was a stupid thing to say being who he is. Now the Right will kneejerk and run as far as they can with it.
