Your chances of joining the military increase when you don't have the grades and/or test scores to get an academic scholarship. Why? Because the armed forces help pay for college. It's their strongest selling point. And now that the requirements to join the military have been lowered, due in part to the smart and/or rich kids knowing the consequences of joining, even you can join.
What Kerry said is far less offensive than Dubya's fear mongering about the big bad terrorists. It's unfortunate he gave the dullard something to talk about other than terra.
