WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Speaker of the House J. Dennis Hastert (R-IL) today issued the following statement regarding Democrat Senator John Kerry's remarks:
"The men and women who serve in our Armed Forces do so because they want to protect the American people. Our soldiers risk their lives in the face of grave dangers on the battlefield, and no one who chooses to courageously and selflessly defend our country can be considered 'uneducated.'
"I strongly condemn Senator Kerry's comments. Our soldiers make the ultimate sacrifice in order to protect America, and they deserve nothing less than our utmost respect. I urge Senator Kerry to apologize immediately for these insulting remarks."
