While he may have said it in a way that totally pissed everyone off, I have to agree with him.

But, the education thing is right on. The testing issue. I have kids in school, up and down the grades and into college.

I've seen the system change where, yes, they are being geared to pass tests and that is the main focus. They have cut so many other programs just to make sure they focus on passing these tests.

But I digress. The issue of being educated or not. Well, I would imagine the educated ones 'over there' are not the majority of the people going into the towns to do battle. That would be the difference.

I know young men/women who have gone there and they do use them to do things that are not told to the general public.

I also know a few who have been told they would not be going over to Iraq but would instead be going to school first and then bam they are sent over to Iraq. Young people, 18, 19.

Ever look at the casualty ages?

So, while I don't agree with his wording I think he is saying what a lot of people think. But it seems people can't say anything against the war or the prez because then we are being un-American.

I can love my country and not the president. Or his actions. And too many of his actions are overlooked.
