Kerry's comments were stupid and misinformed. The majority of solders in Iraq are college educated men and women who joined the reserves, thinking that it meant a weekend a month and 2 weeks a year. I would be willing to guess there are far more college graduates serving in Iraq than those with only high school diplomas, the first time in the history of military action.
What is worse, Democrats, led by Congressman Moore (KS) are going on the attack against solders who were paying child support based on the civilian income at the time they were called up. Their income dropped, but with the exception of Missouri and Illinois, they have to keep up their payments, even if it exceeds their military income.
These men will be returning to face prosecution for back support. I wrote the Congressman two years ago about it and he said nothing could be done, but now, he is introducing legislation to further erode their rights, just because they obeyed their orders to serve.
