Do you think John kerry was right to say that "soldiers are stupid"?

Ah, that is NOT what he said.\n\nHe was talking about staying in school so they don't get "stuck in Iraq."\n\nNot quite the same.\n\nMr Kerry served in the military.

He basically called every soldier in Iraq an idiot. He should be tarred and feathered.

military people are stupid

Yes, many military men and women were offended.  It was one of the most inappropriate and stupid things that Kerry could have said.  However, being the proud military personnel that we are, I'd say it was handled great.  The picture is a great and fun jab back at Kerry.  It was a true eye opener for many as to how Kerry truly feels about the troops.  Kerry and the Dems will feel repercussions from this for awhile.  It's really not shocking that he said it.  He's never liked or supported the military.  Anyone that knows anything about him knows that his military career was a farce.  He's proved his ignorance once again.\n\nKudos and thumbs-up for our troops in Iraq.  I love the reply from them to Kerry!!

From what I have heard, most definitely.\n\nKerry was not "joking." He was at a forum on education, discussing education, and advocating education.\n\nAccording to Kerry, if you LACK education, you get "stuck" in Iraq. \n\nSo I guess people in the military aren't much for schooling.\n\nDoesn't sound like a "JOKE" to me.\n\nDid the media give Rush Limbaugh the benefit of the doubt last week? Of course not. Didn't matter that he was just pointing out Fox's duplicity.

Because John Kerry never intended to say he was sorry . Today , his written statement was merely for damage control. He still didn't say that he was wrong to call our military stupid & uneducated . Yesterday he called a press conference to state that he'd never apologize . Today his written phony baloney backs that up . It's not an apology . He needs to go to Iraq and really apologize ; then come back and resign from the senate .

If Mr. Kerry honestly believed what he said was true, then no he should not have apologized and let the chips fall where they may. If however, it was a mistake as he has stated then an apology to the people he inadvertently offended is the proper course. I personally do not know what the man's opinions of the military are, but my whole problem with this incident was the statement and the offense to the fine men and women serving the country honorably. He apologized and I am ok with that. I am conservative and I do believe in morals and integrity. Part of that belief is understanding that people do make mistakes, but if they are willing to take the proper course and attempt to remedy their mistakes then they should be extended respect for doing so. This applies whether I agree with them politically or not.

J.Kerry meant it the way he said it. It was a put down for our troops serving bravely in Iraq.  Kerry is an idiot!  He does remind me of why I voted for G. Bush.

Yes, they are right.  Kerry has exposed himself for what he is: a liar, fake, phoney.  What reason would these honorable Veterans have for maligning Kerry if he was truly one of their own.  The majority of our Troops have a real bond with each other.

I do not believe it , i think he is just trying to cover up for the fact that he got caught telling his true feelings about our military. When Kerry returned from Vietnam he became a war protester and called our service people Baby killers, murderers, and even joined Jane Fonda in visiting communist countries. John Kerry hates our Military and our country, he will never Ketch-up with his wife or her money if he does not stop revealing his true hatred of America.

Kerry is pathetic.  I think he is just trying to cover his tracks.  If he was taking a jab at Bush then he should have said that.  The fact that he criticizes our brave troops and wanted to be their commander in chief makes me sick.  Thankfully, that will never happen now.

I personally do not think John Kerry was joking.  He said exactly what he meant.  I don't think he would know what a sense of humor was if it came up a bit him in the a**!!

He is an idiot. No matter what you feel about the war you don't put down the troops. They are having a hard time over there. Not all of them agree with the war either, but they enlised and are standing by thier promise.

I don't know how he could speak of ingnorance as if it were a bad thing and mock those who he believes are, when he is obviously a complet moron!  Our soldiers in Iraq are not ignorant or uneducated! They are brave and proud men and women who have chosen to take a stand and defend our country from being overrun by terrorist and people who would stop at nothing to kill Americans!! Someone who would insult our troops this way should not be allowed to call themselves American!!!!!

John Kerry is the "botched joke" of American politics. For those of you keeping score at home, John Kerry has now called members of the U.S. military (a) stupid, (b) crazy, (c) murderers, (d) rapists, (e) terrorizers of Iraqi women and children. I wonder what he'll call them tomorrow. Whatever Karl Rove is paying John Kerry to say stupid things, it's worth every penny.

No, just phenomenally ignorant. \n\nAccording to the Democrat version, our troops apparently spend all their time in Iraq planning and conducting rapes and murders, and driving up and down the road so they can be ambushed. \n\nIf I thought that were true, I'd agree that we need to bring them all home now, but it doesn't take much effort to drive to your local National Guard unit to find someone who has been there to look you in the eye and tell you the truth.  \n\nThis apparently doesn't occur to most reporters and Democrats.

John Kerry is a monument to slick politicians. He managed to go to Vietnam for 3-months and collect three metals, two of which were for self inflicted wounds. Remember Swift Boat Veterans for truth? His own crew said he didn’t do what he claimed to have done. He then came home and threw his metals over a wall when it helped him politically.\n\nNow he is still disparaging our troops. How could the democrats believed this man was presidential material beats me. He would have made a great Commander and Chief of our armed forces—not!\n\nHe should resign his seat in the Senate.
