Michelle is a hard-nosed reseacher, exposing the truth of many myths.... I've personally never seen anyone successfully argue with her facts.
Generally yes, but she is out of her area of expertise when it comes to understanding the arguments of the SBVFT. She identifies sailors as soldiers and got flummoxed about the self-inflicted wounds. She should not be the one selected to defend the SBVFT positions nor should Rush for that matter. I am sure that Rush has not read the book either.
