This from John Kerry.
You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq.
While the comment has received a lot of criticism (as though it were an insult to our troops to note that the military harvests undereducated and disenfranchised Americans for combat), it seems to me the criticism is deflated once we realize that even if you do study, you will likely get stuck in Iraq. --That's what we should be pissed about!

What he meant to say was: "...and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in COMMUNITY COLLEGE." There. The joke was well-told and made sense.

Patriots come from all walks of life. No one -- given our ALL VOLUNTEER forces -- gets "stuck" anywhere.
