From Sen. John McCain: “Senator Kerry owes an apology to the many
thousands of Americans serving in Iraq, who answered their country's
call because they are patriots and not because of any deficiencies in their
education. Americans from all backgrounds, well off and less fortunate,
with high school diplomas and graduate degrees, take seriously their duty to
our country, and risk their lives today to defend the rest of us in Iraq,
Afghanistan, and elsewhere. They all deserve our respect and deepest
gratitude for their service. The suggestion that only the least educated
Americans would agree to serve in the military and fight in Iraq, is an
insult to every soldier serving in combat, and should deeply offend
any American with an ounce of appreciation for what they suffer and risk so
that the rest of us can sleep more comfortably at night. Without them, we
wouldn't live in a country where people securely possess all their God-given
rights, including the right to express insensitive, ill-considered and
uninformed remarks.”
McCain is blasting this quote from John Kerry:
“You know, education, if you
make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make
an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in
Iraq.”
