Senator Frist;

As a prior member (and retiree) of the military, I am appalled at Senator Kerry's remark to college students implying that those serving are only doing so because they are uneducated or failed college. I will have you know that I entered the service in 1977 immediately after graduating high school because I WANTED TO SERVE and get my education while in the military. And while serving, I completed my degree in computer science. What do you suppose is more difficult? Staying on a college campus and obtaining your degree in an antiseptic environment. Or getting your education while enduring the rigors of life with a family and nation to protect. Stand up for American troops and ask for Kerry's resignation. We have no time for these distractions during our current struggle.
