John Kerry has apologized, yeah right. First of all, his apology was just more of the same blame others crap that we are used to hearing coming out of this arrogant elitist's mouth. If we hadn't "misinterpreted" his remarks, we wouldn't be so stupid to think he'd denigrate the military.
Well here is what John Kerry really thinks about an all volunteer military:
Kerry apologized Wednesday for the 2006 campaign trail gaffe that some took
as suggesting U.S. soldiers fighting in Iraq were undereducated. He contended the remark was aimed at Bush, not the soldiers.
In 1972, as he ran for the House, he was less apologetic in his comments about the merits of a volunteer army. He declared in the questionnaire that he opposed the draft but considered a volunteer army "a greater anathema."
"I am convinced a volunteer army would be an army of the poor and the black and the brown," Kerry wrote. "We must not repeat the travesty of the inequities present during Vietnam. I also fear having a professional army that views the perpetuation of war crimes as simply 'doing its job.'
"Equally as important, a volunteer army with our present constitutional crisis takes accountability away from the president and put the people further from control over military activities," he wrote.
And even if he did mean his initial remarks to be directed at President Bush, how does that make them any better? Denigrating the Commander-in-Chief while those 140,000 service men and women are in harm's way is just as disgusting as denigrating the troops at his command. Not to mention, that based on grades and accomplishments, George Bush is a heck of a lot smarter than John F'n Kerry.
On
April 23, 1971, John Kerry tossed his military medals at the Whitehouse
after a week long protest organized by Kerry and the VVAW called:
Operation Dewey Canyon III. (Swiftvets)
