Granted, Kerry may or may not have been intentionally insulting the intellectual prowess of US troops.
But even if he was saying the troops aren't the brightest lights in the US, is he wrong?
Where do the recruiting officers go to recruit young people in the US? Most of it is in backwater towns in the middle of nowhere. The recruiters don't spend much time at Harvard and MIT lookin for new troops.

Democracy rulers are a reflection of the societies we are. Kerry and Bush are the closest matches to society possible...
The perfect images of American people. 🙂.
