did John Kerry just call soldiers stupid?

I think it was a Freudian. Like I said earlier, I don't think he meant to say that soldiers are stupid, and I don't think it was his intent, but I think he believes it.

Kerry is someone who prides himself on debating skills and his ability to use the spoken word. How many times have we heard him misspeak while pubically addressing a crowd? Could be that he does all the time and we don't hear about it, but he prides himself on his speaking ability.

I had friends that went the military route not because they were stupid, but because they wanted training and college money. I see noproblem with that whatsoever. Before I got a scholarship I considered the same thing.
