Kerry’s Website: ‘Right Either Way’
Screenshot here. This, to me, is the money quote:
Although there are plenty of well-educated people in our armed forces — Kerry was one of them — military service has long been an opportunity for those with less education and fewer skills than they need to work in the private sector. Indeed, the military sells itself as a place to garner skills and to help pay for higher education.

Why would anyone write this? There’s plenty of dumbasses in college.
During this last presidential election one of the news agencies was interviewing people at the polls and a college kid said he felt sorry for the military “because they weren’t smart enough to do anything else.”
I went to college while on active duty, earned a bachelors degree from a private school, and graduated with a higher GPA than nearly all of those highly intelligent full time students.
The irony to me is that the Army was my ticket out of fairly extreme poverty. When I was a kid in South Dakota, my dad didn’t have money or rich friends. My grades were never that great, partly because the cars never started in the morning and partly because I had to work in my dad’s business. I worked in the mines during summers to get through college, did a little better academically, and then got into law school. When the Army JAG Corps (admittedly not a typical route to active duty) hired me, it was pretty competitive. My military experience helped me get trial experience, prove myself, and see the world. Definitely some great years.
I think plenty of other military and vets would agree that the military is anything but a place to be “stuck” if you can’t compete. For plenty of us, it was a ticket to a better life — a true engine of meritocracy where race, privilege, and class matter less than anywhere else I can think of.
Fuck John Kerry, fuck the snotty elitist college pricks on his payroll, and fuck the horse he rode in on. The entire reason I oppose a draft is the thought of having people like that watching my flank, although the thought of their reaction to green tracers has its merits.
