Esther at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Exchange (BX)
Esther and I just arrived a few minutes ago from a trip to the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where we often go to shop.
While driving, we heard from the air waves what the Senator from Massachusett, "honorable" John F. Kerry, told a group of California students that individuals who do not study hard and do their homework would likely "get stuck in Iraq."
“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.” by John Kerry.
At first, I could not believe what I was hearing.
Still fresh in my memory was the time when I was called by our then former President George H. W. Bush, to serve our country when the regime of Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. My unit composed of physicians, nurses, medical technicians, and other paramedical troops, served. For years before the war (Dessert Storm), we trained very hard to be able to protect our country and our Allies in time of war. We were all professionals!
Again, we are at war in Iraq, and to hear politicians like Senator Kerry "joke" about our Commander-in-Chief, the leader of our troops and imply negative about our troops in uniform is "unkind" to say the least.
