He may have botched a joke as written by his staff, but deep down, I have no doubt that Kerry holds most of the military in contempt. It appears that he used his own military career as little more than stepping stone for his true calling a political career. This wouldn’t be the first time he’s thrown the troops under the bus…his senate testimony back in 1971 makes me shake with rage, because he calls my father — and each soldier, sailor, airman, coastie or marine who fought there — a war criminal. Interesting that he could learn so much in four short months.

I think he really does believe that itÂ’s the poor and stupid who get suckered into the military. And yes some do. But itÂ’s a great place for them to better themselves. And the majority are smart, capable and good people.

Kerry is a blue falcon at best. I think he should resign from the Senate. HeÂ’s not fit to serve.
