Reply #5: Yeah, right. He did say this in the Senate once

In the debate on the first Gulf War, which, by the way, was the first Iraq War vote that he got endless, endless shit for because of the vote he cast:

Late on Friday, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) gave a good speech, which he ended with a quote from a book by the Hollywood screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, "Johnny Got His Gun."

In this story, a soldier loses his arms and legs, his voice, his sight, his hearing and his face in war. He decides to become an educational exhibit. His idea is to be put in a glass case and carried around.

Sen. Kerry quoted from the soldier's statement.

"Take me wherever there are parliaments and diets and congresses and chambers of statesmen," he says. "I want to be there when they talk about honor and justice and making the world safe for democracy and fourteen points and the self-determination of peoples. I want to be there . . . Put my glass case upon the speaker's desk and every time the gavel descends let me feel its vibration through my little jewel case. Then let them debate . . . the course of empire and why should we take all this crap off Germany or whoever the next Germany is . . .

"(But) before they give the order for all the little guys to start killing each other let the main guy rap his gavel on my case and point down at me and say here gentlemen is the only issue before this house and that is are you for this thing here or are you against it."

There was silence in the chamber of the Senate.

Yeah, because people who read things like that on the Senate floor, yeah, they are real gung-ho about killing. (Honestly, some people have no more brains than your common average potato.)
