And a Bacevich who once wrote something to the effect that “America is not that special” is someone in whom we should take stock? In a newspaper that long ago in a city and state that long ago forwent their sovereignty for manicured lawns and cheap labor to pick strawberries?

Just another hit piece from some liberal minded academic with an axe to grind.

“Just another hit piece from some liberal minded academic with an axe to grind.”

In fact Bacevich is a retired Regular Army Colonel who knows a good deal about war, including what it’s like to have a son killed in action. And I’d like to see you source that scurrilous comment you attribute to him so that we can see its context.

“He graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1969 and served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War, serving in Vietnam from the summer of 1970 to the summer of 1971. Later he held posts in Germany, including the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment; the United States; and the Persian Gulf up to his retirement from the service with the rank of Colonel in the early 1990s”
