Senator John Kerry claimed that if a person is educated, he can do good things, otherwise, he ends up enlisting in infantry, and by his ignorance, fighting for his country.
Senator McCain denied this by claiming that it was possible for a man to enlist in the armed services, and also be educated. McCains theory was that, a person can be educated and still love his country enough to rationally decide to enlist.
Whose right? Can a person who decides to enlist make that decision as an educated man, or is enlistment beneath the educated man?
The answer is obvious. It all depends on what is meant by being "educated". If being "educated" means having liberal professors at every turn teaching leftist doctrines, then certainly Kerry may have a point. However, if we mean "universally educated", that is, exposed to all viewpoints by healthy professors who are secure individuals with no extreme affliction of self hatred or leftover hatred for "the jocks", then McCain is right.
