Kerry just spit in the eye of all service members, current, past and future. This guy wants to be Commander in Chief? Wow, nothing like serving under someone who thinks the only reason you are in the military is because you can’t do anything else. I wonder if he feels the same about his own military service?
During the 15+ years my husband has been a Marine, he has worked with many hundreds of incredible, hard-charging Devil Dogs. These guys are a hard working, talented bunch.
Attack policy all you want, Kerry, but denigrating the fine men and women who stand ready to defend this county is a low down, despicable act.
Even if you do not agree with our current military action, it behooves us all to remember that our service members are there to defend us against ANY threat that may materialize. The future is unknown. Who knows what kind of national threat lies in our future. In addition to other issues, Kerry just struck an irresponsible blow to recruitment, which will have a negative impact on national readiness.
As for the fact that it garnered him media attention, I agree that it did so. If this was a media ploy, then it highlights Kerry as a man willing to say anything, hurt the country and belittle anyone in an attempt get attention.
