Sigh... Your post Illustrates with perfect clarity the liberal contempt for the military. Glad it is out there for all to see. Rather than try and understand why it bothers the military, that regardless of the intent; that even if Kerry truely 'botched the joke' why his non-apology was insufficient, or why Kerry's reputation amongst the military is the frame which his words are viewed; you just dismiss them as morons. Don't have to bother with any of those messy details that way. (I'll not that the first time Kerry kame out after his 'botched joke', he did not say it was a botched joke, but that us moorons were too stoopid to understand that it was dirrected at Bush. I know, I know, another messy detail. Forget it. ) Here is the story on the people who created the banner... "They're astounded by the reaction," said David Ward, whose daughter Heather was among the GIs holding the banner. "They were having fun with it." David Ward said his daughter told him that while the picture was meant to be private, her unit is happy their message is getting across. "When they saw and heard what Kerry said, they were just furious and they were sitting around and one thing led to another," he said. Ward said that his daughter was among those who came up with the plan for the sign — and when asked if she actually painted it, he chuckled and said: "Well, she said she had paint under her fingernails." The elder Ward said he completely approves of his daughter's message. snopes.com
