Default Kerry's Joke

I agree. Of course, if he does appologize, someone should come along

and give him a hard time for it. Especially if he doesn't actually
admit to insulting the troops, which he probably won't.

And if he *does* admit to insulting the troops, well, look out Nelly!


Wait... I thought Kerry already admited to it. Sigh... Anyway check out
the below web link.

"During a Vietnam-era run for Congress three decades ago, John Kerry
said he opposed a volunteer Army because it would be dominated by the
underprivileged, be less accountable and be more prone to "the
perpetuation of war crimes."

I'm not saying anything about Kerry thinking a drafted military is the
way to go but it looks like he *might* have an issue with the type of
people in a volunteer military.
