I actually think that was the real John Kerry coming out to play. I expect nothing less from Northeast limousine liberals. They give lip service to the "support our troops," but really, deep down, they loath the military.

This whole generation of senior Dem politicians is stricken with the Vietnam syndrome. Every armed conflict is still seen through the looking glass of 'Nam. Kerry's statement was very Nam-esque, trying to beat the tired drum that the poor and uneducated fight in wars. I, for one, have plenty of intelligent, educated friends and family members currently serving in uniform. Kerry can go fuck himself. What an arrogant, self-righteous, pompous ass.

Is Bush and Co. any better? Not really. At least Kerry served on active duty, regardless of how "active" he really was.
