The Mind of the Elite

Haven't fealt like blogging lately, but John Kerry's comments about "get an education or end up in Iraq" finally lit my fire. I spent darned near 30 years in the reserves and took enough snide remarks for a couple of lifetimes. Kerry really frosts me. If anyone buys into the Democratic elite's "support our troop" you have my deepest sympathy.

The military has about the highest per capita education level short of college campuses in the US. There are more Ph. D.'s per capita than in business and industry. Then along comes John, whose military career was nothing short of a self-promotion, with his snide little remark in front of a group of college kiddies who probably couldn't distinguish an air force uniform and a marine corps uniform.

Maybe that's why I much prefer military or ex-military. They have earned their postion by hard work and education. People like Kerry disgust me.
