To me, this picture was a stroke of genius by these folks. Without speaking a word, they managed to make Kerry look like the cowardly, mega-fool that he is. These are my kind of soldiers. America's best. They don't come any better.
But of course that's not really true, isn't it? These people are, according to Kerry, just supposed to be dumb, stupid high school dropouts, burnouts, etc. Only that several of them are either college graduates or have at least several college credits under their belt(s). Kerry was attempting to pander to the young college "hip" leftie crowd with his statement and he failed miserably. .... and lucky for all of us, was caught on tape trying to do so. Free speech does indeed sometimes mean its easier to spot the liars and frauds.
And all this time I've been under the impression that Minnesotans were a bunch of dour, humorless, no-fun types of people!
My stereotype of you folks has flipped 180 degrees.
It was a creative, appropriate and funny-as-hell prank!
I salute you!
