Recently Stephen King said this:

I don’t want to sound like an ad, a public service ad on TV, but the fact is if you can read, you can walk into a job later on. If you don’t, then you’ve got, the Army, Iraq, I don’t know, something like that. It’s, it’s not as bright. So, that’s my little commercial for that.

When asked about this statement by the Bangor Daily News, Mr. King ended his response with “…of course we all support the troops.”

Nearly 100% of our courageous soldiers have a high school education, and many are trained specifically for high tech duties and responsibilities.

Mr. King, I say to you: it isn’t what you said, it’s what we think we heard.
