Kerry, a Yale alumnus, wrote in a letter to the university's president that the breakthrough at Harvard is important in moving past a "difficult era" when many elite schools turned away ROTC to protest the now defunct ban on gays serving openly in the military.

"As an alumnus whose life and values were in part shaped both by Yale, and by my service in the United States Navy, I would like to see Yale join Harvard's lead welcoming ROTC back to campus in New Haven," the Massachusetts Democrat said in the letter released by his office.

Maybe Senator John can demonstrate the proper pose for inserting one’s head up one’s anus.... Just for starters.

"Sen. John Kerry urges Yale to follow Harvard's lead, welcome ROTC back to campus."

Why, so he can go there to protest against them?

I guess I can thank the college I’m at (Penn State) for having the ROTC—though it’s definitely filled with liberals

The military is only good for them when it benefits them.

thanks matt04.

I’d like to see John Kerry get the hanging he so richly deserves.

Ya know John, your statement would have more gravitas if you would sign and release your SF 180.

Why, so he can protest them and stab them in the back?

Probably, they are hurting to attract the best and the brightest. Not to mention, they see the writing on the wall.

He did but only certain members of the MSM can see his full military and military medical records. He played by a separate set of rules all of his life and beat the system again.
