If you watch the clip, it's clear that Kerry was referring to the Bush White House, not troops in the field.
If Kerry really was trying to "insult the troops," how to make sense of his own personal history? He got that higher education, he went to Yale, and he chose to serve in Vietnam.
The Bush Administration's extremist foreign policy and gross incompetence has literally gotten our troops killed and maimed by the thousands. And we're all supposed to get our panties in a wad over a failed punchline by an actual war vet who isn't even running for office.
Is this the best Rove's got?
Pathetic.
