Kerry always seems to give away his arrogant and condescending nature one way or another. A prime example of his blue blood, big money elitist attitude. But really not a man of any great mental note. That current quote was written on the script he held, so it's wasn't a off the cuff remark. He, or someone else, planned it to be said. Intended to be a slight to Bush, it became a disrespectfull and degrading statement on the U.S. military. Suggesting that only the useless, stupid and hopeless need apply for service. This from a man who keep's reminding, over and over again, about his combat service in Viet Nam. That would be three month's on a swift boat. He did gather three Purple Hearts, two of which have been suggested as self-inflected. We must understand that when in a war zone, even a accidental cut of the hand would qualify for a Purple Heart citation. Not demeaning the award, only explaing the bases of it. The thing is, is that Kerry mustered out of the Navy and went before congress/senate (can't remembe which) and denounced the U.S. troops as baby killers, rapist and guilty of mass murder against civilians.
Now we will have a test of Kerry's character, or lack of it, to see if he will apologize for his remarks about the men and women troops currently overthere in Iraq. Rather than another one of his arrogant statements that he will never apologize. His recent spin on things is very weak indeed.
