He's generalizing and it's just to dig at Republicans with. Not everyone know that's in Iraq has a college education but some of them didn't want to go to college and others went to college but wanted to go into the military. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

I know you don't like what Kerry said, but sadly it's true for the majority. Not everyone, but the majority.

kerry's an idiot. and who the hell wants to be an officer? unless you're a pilot (which I am exempt from), I can't find one job I would want to do. no offense, if you want to make it a career, sure zeros are the way to go...but for 4 years? too much BS politicking to deal with.
scout sniper, assault climber, scout swimmer, EOD/UDT, marksmanship instructor, smallboat coxswain, etc...all enlisted. some people just want to do something for a few years while they're young then go to college debt-free. graduated HS at 17. how lame would it be to be in college underage the 4yrs and having only seen lubbock, amarillo, and various ski resorts? being a 22yr old freshman who's been around the block was pretty rad. plus since you've gotten alot of shit out of your system, I'd wager you make better grades than the average kid being away from home for the first time. more discipline, etc. I know I did. |

Who's John Kerry?
 anyhow... I don't think it's so much of kids "can't navigate the educational system" as "kids want an easy buck and dont want to have to pay for their own living expenses and then go oh shit there's a war now what". |

I don't know first hand about the military, just from my dad but being an officer/career military dude sounds pretty nice considering the pension and benefits he has that I still am able to mooch off of.

A college degree won't save you're from bad engrish.
But on a different note, the EE's i know who were ex military are usually pretty badass about staying on task. -------------------- Southern Rock, beer and bears!

John Kerry is literally as big of douche bag that has ever graced the US senate floor.
The guy is a fucking forked-tongue slimeball elitist pig ... you KNOW he was thinking, and meant, exactly what he said....All the spin he can put on it isn't gonna change that fact. The bottom line is, there are probably just as many highly intelligent people in the military as there are in college. I've met some real idiots in college classes before, and I've met some highly intelligent and capable people in the army, navy, air force, marines, etc....who were competent enough to make the decision for themselves to join the military of their own accord. No, you don't have to be in MENSA to be in the military, but you can't be a complete and total dumbfuck either. You have to be trainable, or people get killed. This takes intelligence. I have infinatley more respect for people who are in the military, even if all they are is a fucking cook, than an elitist snob son of a bitch like Kerry who was born with a silver spoon up his ass and who has never had to work for a fucking thing in his life and was born into politcs. -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!
