I’m getting a lot of e-mail from understandably angry readers who have served in Iraq. Among them:

Kathryn just wanted to toss in my thoughts. Kerry then told the students that if they were able to navigate the education system, they could get comfortable jobs – “If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq,” he said to a mixture of laughter and gasps
I have two masters degrees. I had a comfortable job…working for the government. I voluntarily left it to serve my country in Iraq for nearly two years. Thus, Kerry is wrong on all counts.
