So John Kerry implies that only the stupid people are fighting in Iraq and everyone is upset….why? My only gripe is that his strong ‘I call them how I see them’ platform is a couple of years too late.[..]
Original post: The Troops Are Stoo-pid

Nothing like stereotyping, is there.
Snookered, USN-RET
if they wernt stupid how cold you make them run around and get shot at. ifn ever the draft starts again you can call me canadian pete “eh”.
You are a stupid little cunt. You will be a victim in the coming die off you little bitch.
Grandma Rose
This is stereotyping at its worst. Granted, many of the people over there may not be that intelligent. But what about the guys who went to West Point, or the Naval Academy, some of the most difficult colleges to get into in the country? Or what about the people who after 9/11 felt that they had something better to do with their lives than sit around in their menial, greedy, consumer-driven lives? What about this article”

that your wrote? Certainly the people who volunteer to fight for you, saving your friends and family from being drafted, are doing you a kindness. It seems like a little bit of a double standard to me.
Facts about soldiers
You have to have a HS diploma to get in, not GED. This makes the military have some of the strictest hiring standards in the nation.
To be an officer you have to have a degree
To become an e6 higher education is recommended
Certain ranks enlisted and officer requires congressional approval
Good portion of soldiers are a going for higher education. (do not have figures on me but can repost them)
I intend on being a solder. I am not unintelligent I have a associates of arts degree. I am currently getting a bachelors of arts degree.
The point made in this statement from Violent Acres could apply to any job title. No one will say “The Investment Bankers are Stoo-pid.” however there are several unintelligent investment bankers. the same goes for politicians, scientists, religious leaders, those of the blogging community, university teachers, and even presidents. To think that ALL troops are stupid is ridiculous, because there are so many stupid people around now that its a damn shock if no idiotic or moronic or stupid people appear in a field of employment.
Similarly there are many intelligent people in all of those fields.
I also defend public school teachers. I do not however think that public school administrators should be given jobs. Both of my parents are public school instructors both poses a masters degree one in art history the other in marine biology. There are few things I hear from them that don’t involve there Administrators telling them to do something that goes completely against everything they learned in school. Think very hard on how much we all pay in taxes and grants to school for improvements and text books. Do you ever see ANY of that money spent on the things that they say they will be? I never did. My parents never did. My brother, who is still in highs school, never still hasn’t. Where does it all go you ask. Well my guess is straight in to the pocket of the local public school administrators. If that’s not it, then ware?
