Kerry's been saying the same thing since Vietnam. I don't have the quote handy, but he said in 1972 that, essentially, "a volunteer army would be made mostly of brown people, black people, and the disenfranchised". He thinks very little of the people in the armed forces, and always has, even when he was one. He spent all of his political career apologizing for being in the military, except when he needed the military vote.
He hasn't handled this with any more than C grade political aplomb; he's just lucky enough to have a fanbase who are willing to take any excuse he gives as long as it doesn't damage the effort of Democrats to regain power.
Kerry is a tool, irrespective of the toolishness of any Republican.
