Education Blah-G

Kerry, not again!

We take a sound bite and make a big thing out of it.
Guilty on both sides. But the newsmedia cannot get
around the stupidity of such a remark.

Kerry got stuck in Vietnam. And he went to Yale.

I spent 4 years in the Navy and I am pretty well
educated.

In fact, todays military demands brains from even
the lowest grunt. With technology of weaponry,
todays military personnel are light years ahead of
their predecessors. Add to this the fact that they
don't accept non-high school graduates anymore.

Many many well-educated people, from doctors to
rocket scientists are in the military. And many are
in Iraq. Many actually want to be there.

Speaking of Iraq, we just had a major fire here in
So Cal. 4 firefighters lost their lives. I wonder if
anyone would ever say that too many had lost
their lives, so let's pull the firefighters from the
fire and just let it burn. See how crazy that sounds?
It sounds just as crazy when you say it about Iraq.
It's not about body counts. It's about doing the right
thing.
