And now that the proper wording is known it should be the republicans that look stupid once again. And Tony White made them look like bigger imbeciles with his ridiculous routine.

With all do respect to your plitical views, how the speech was written is irrelevant and doesnt protect the speaker in anyway.
What Kerry said is public record, had he in the scrum after clearly cleared his position and said his words got muddled then that would be a different story.
As per why are there no for few college grads in the Army? Umm well that has to the with the North American social structure, alot of minorities and those in families who arent in the middle/upper class dont have the opportunity to go to college without the assitance of the US Military.
The military teaches disipline and respect for others. With the qualifications being equal, I would hire someone who had served in the Canadian military vs someone who had done kegstands at the local community college any day of the week.
Just because you dont agree with the Presidents actions, dont slag the men and women who serve in the armed forces. I would gather that the pilots in AF, Navy, and Army are quite intelligent. I am sure anti war activists durring WW1 and WW2 were saying the same thing.
