So john Kerry said some stuff he probably shouldn't have. Again. I don't really understand what the big fuss is about. At first I heard about it, from a friend at work. He had thought John Kerry was talking bad about our troops. Don't get me wrong, our troops fight for our beliefs and policy's, above and beyond normal jobs and truly sacrifice their lives. Their on the same list as cops and fireman/paramedics. Its just that I've personally known many volunteers in our armed forces, and frankly they really were undereducated. I know because I went through the same school system as the rest of us in that particular area. Now, I'm not saying that everyone in the armed forces are undereducated, but most are. You have your Generals and what not, they obviously are intelligent, but our armed forces aren't comprised of entirely Generals you know. 

So things in the war in Iraq are not going well. What war has ever been good? Soldiers on both sides of the war have committed atrocities. Its something that happens in war, certainly. So John Kerry's comments really aren't that big of a deal to me. To me all war is bad, even when necessary.

The immediate response and media blitz on the subject is what concerns me most. Every time a democrat slanders the war in Iraq, they find themselves the Vitim of the media flak attack. It happens on both sides of our bipartisan politics. I know it pays the bills to write about it, I myself jumped on this band wagon to make a few bucks, thanks to assisted content, but I'm definitely not trying to slander one end or the other of either party.

I always will support my friends and family, who is currently, or are veterans in any war, and it takes a great heart and soul to sign up to serve our country, but, sometimes people take things too harshly. So maybe if we all just learned to not take words so heavily. We should try to understand that words are just a representation of the thoughts we have, which really are indescribable to words. John Kerry, in my mind, has said things I've liked and some I've not, but hasn't every politician? 


Takeaways
  • John Kerry can't tell a good joke.
