John Kerry: Idiots in camouflage – he wanted to be commander in chief?

By: Steve Yuhas

Someone should thank John Kerry for pointing out just how stupid the men and women in our armed forces really are.  While he was telling a bunch of kids (not to mention illegals receiving in state tuition) how smart they were at Pasadena City College; a bunch of idiots were hard at work all over the world.  This wandering tribe of dummies were delivering babies, fixing jet engines, decrypting the codes of terror cells, North Korea and Iran, monitoring radar to ensure only flights allowed over US territory actually are, going in three to five men teams to seek out people who want to chop off the heads of any American that crosses their path and a whole litany of unskilled labor like making wills and powers of attorney and cooking for the masses.  So who is this band of mind numbed slobs – why the US military of course.

Who would have thought?  Kerry did this country a service because if not for him we just wouldn’t know how dumb these folks really are.  After all – we trust them with multi-million dollar equipment and have them operate the most sensitive and technical material any military has ever had to use.  No wonder we lost the Cold War and we have to speak German – our military was stupid then too.

After it sinks in that our military is full of dolts someone should take Kerry aside and get on their knees and thank G-d (so long as it is not in a public place because that would be wrong and some military folks go to church and synagogue) that neither he nor any member of his family was hurt during his campaign for office in 2004.

You may be asking yourself what one has to do with the other, but prepare yourself: two people on the protection team assigned to Senator Kerry’s campaign were (do that little sound effect in your head – duh dun duh) VETERANS!  Yes that’s right: one soldier and one Marine were assigned to protect the Kerry campaign – how thankful he must be that the only harm that came to his campaign actually came from his lack of ideas.

It is obvious that the people John Kerry loves meant very little to him since he did not vet out the stupid veterans that helped protect them during the campaign, but maybe they changed after they left the armed forces.  Maybe they even attended Pasadena City College and between all of the very important things that go on there like protests against ROTC and candlelight vigils for the martyrs of the Arab world they suddenly became acceptable to the Senator who actually wanted to be Commander in Chief.

Is it just me or doesn’t it take real effort on the part of a Senator, or anyone for that matter, to actually offend two entirely different generations of veterans?  Surely Kerry holds some kind of record for making insulting remarks against vets: first came his own brothers in arms from Vietnam that he casually called rapists and murderers and now comes an entirely new generation that he not only accused of killing the innocent, but now they’re just too dumb to know any better.

Kerry may very well have created for each member of the armed forces the best defense should they ever get in trouble: we’ll call it the Kerry “I’m too stupid to know better because I’m in the military” defense strategy.  The gal who had an Iraqi on a leash – let her out; after all she is from West Virginia and certainly must be stupid since she went to the army.  The Pendleton 8 – let them go – even the ones who were suckered into pleading to something because Kerry said they’re just a bunch of idiots anyway.

Didn’t the left used to care about dumb people?

John Kerry has done all he can to kiss away his ambition to be President – maybe he’ll become the 2008 nominee because liberals love to hear people make disparaging remarks about the military; look at John Murtha – he rose in stature and became a household name.  John Kerry, though, has done it one too many times for it to be an accident.  He actually believes our armed forces to be a bunch of stupid people.

As one of the presumed idiots who served in our military I cannot be held accountable for any spelling or grammar errors on this page, but I will say that I am sad for John Kerry and the Democratic Party because the jig is up.  We know now what they really think – their standard bearer said it!  In their world the same people defending our freedom are somehow less intelligent than a bunch of community college kids at a Democratic pep rally.  I thought that was true only on television.

Putting everything into perspective it is really time to come to grips that what John Kerry says on the fly is what most Democrats believe deep down inside.  Of course they don’t say it, but the fact that it comes into their heads at all is mind-boggling, but then again I could just be too stupid to understand it.

It takes not only courage, commitment and tremendous honor to put your life on the line for your country – voluntarily – but it also takes more than a small degree of intelligence to do the unique set of skills that comes with whatever job you do in the military.  Whether you are an infantryman, someone else in the combat arms or someone like me who served in a support capacity – the danger is real, bullets don’t make any intelligent distinction (although, Kerry was a “D” student and he has three Purple Hearts so we should check on the intelligence of bullets and shrapnel), but not only do you have to perform your job you have to perform your job in the worst of circumstances.

Nobody will every know if John Kerry actually meant what he said, but I find it too convenient for him to say evil things about Vietnam era veterans and to turn around and say similar things about current era servicemen for this to be a coincidence.  He has what many Democrats do and that is a deep loathing for our military men and women and he doesn’t care if they graduated at the top of their high school class, the bottom or went to the finest colleges in America and become an officer. 

He just doesn’t like them and writes them off as dumber than a community college freshman.

Kerry apologized for what he said and attempted to take the debate and turn it into something that it wasn’t – a debate about President Bush’s policy in Iraq.  The problem is that the damage was done and people should know that on Election Day giving Democrats power in either chamber of Congress would be to allow them the privilege of confirming general officers, appropriating money for military equipment and pay increases and allowing them to write the law on veteran benefits.  Veterans and servicemen they hate.

With such a loathing of military men and women should anyone trust Democrats in the image of John Kerry (they all campaigned for him) to do that?  If the answer is no then you should vote Republican – at least there is no condescending view of our military in that party; the only condescension is when we talk about John Kerry’s academic record and, frankly, that fits with his view of our idiots in camouflage.
