In the words of John Kerry...

If you study, work hard, get an education, and take advantage of your opportunities you can get ahead...and if not...you go in the military....so by supposition:

1. Joining the military is for those who are uneducated
2. Joining the military is for those who don't work hard
3. Joining the military is for those who throw away opportunities
4. Joining the military does not offer the opportunity to "get ahead"

Tell me again why anyone voted for this chucklehead?

Just as a side note, by his own admission, he didn't study, didn't work hard, isn't educated, and threw away his opportunties....he must have, 'cause he went in the military!
