You know, I'm not the most foremost supported of the Iraqi war, but still - I support the troops. Kerry (and Bush) have a spotty military record, so he should stop with the "I care about the common person whilst pulling in money" dance. Perhaps he was making a light joke, but it was insensitive nonetheless, no matter how phrased.
If you dont support the war, fine - but dont slander the troops. I have a good freinds in the military, and both are intelligent and career driven individuals.
