You know, I feel the same way about this that I did about that guy who resigned after using the word "niggardly". What he meant to say really is beside the point. He said something that was easy to misinterpret, and that's just not good politics.

No, Niggardly could be easily understood by a dictionary. This was bad rhetoric which begged to be taken differently.

The military targets young members of low income households and those who don't graduate from high school. John Kerry isn't responsible for recruiting.

Thank you for proving you know next to absolutely nothing about the military. If you don't graduate High School you will not even be looked at. The military targets anyone who finished his/her HS education, and is in good shape. Absolutely no where is it stated or implied that they target low income, if that were true minorities in the services would be extremely high proportionately. They are not, people of all social classes are recruted.
If what you are implying is true, there would not be a higher level of college educated personell in the Armed Forces as the rest of the US. If they are purposefully recruiting people who can't even finish HS, how the hell do we have so many in the military with PHD's and Doctorates?
And Kerry IS just as responsible, look at his voting record. He may not have initiated it, but being on the security council he had access to every secret report the President had.
