This is full of hyperbole, just utter nonsense.

This is more accurate than not.

Odd, I found it insightful - a prescient look at our new softer, gentler military and military policy.

When the powerful are pansies, the power is pansified.

Some may call it hyperbole - others may call it prophetic.

Easy to state an opinion - takes a few more cells to back it up. Kindly share your wisdom with us so we don't keep following the "idiot" who writes this stuff. Or better yet, start writing your own versions of whatever he puts out so we can compare notes.

He describes the feminasation of our military. It is complete.

With the evidence before us on the social reconstruction of the Military, e.g., women in combat, lower standards for physical fitness, affirmative action and liberal political promotions, homosexual acceptance, failure to prosecute Muslim murderers, etc., what is hyperbole?

The new soldier is expected to be a psychological cripple or a social worker

As far as the warrior ethic is concerned, this excerpt seems spot on.

Even Islamic terrorists don't hate America like liberals do. They don't have the energy. If they had that much energy, they'd have indoor plumbing by now. --Ann Coulter

Greenfield's concern is about how progressives see the role of the US military - and where they're trying to take it.

The left has traditionally hated the military. Why has that changed? It's changed because leftists have decided to use the military to push progressive goals: gay rights, social engineering, Peace Corps values, make 'em luv us policies. But not to have men with guns protecting the United States. The conversion will be a slow process for them - but it is a process going in one direction... toward leftists goals. Obama's weeding out traditional military types - and replacing them with folks 'more amenably' to leftists thinking.

It might be nice to build schools and bridges for 3rd world countries and have all the local women and children smile and show appreciation - but that's not what taxpayers are paying for. And it's doubtful it's doing any good. Would you want the Chinese military coming to your city to build things as gifts? Build a recreation center for the women? It's creepy.

US Citizens are paying for defense against people who want to kill us - we're not paying for a bunch of well meaning young people to 'peace corps' it on our dime.
