I never read long articles. But I read this one. The whole thing.
As he says at the top of his page... You should grab a cup of coffee and maybe a snack. This essay is marvelous.
I intend to buy his book.

Pinging all of my friends here. This is an article that I recommend you give an hour to read... Now, or later, whenever you can. I found it to be too engaging to stop once I began.

Thanks - I did search on sanctuary, and didn't see it.
That thread didn't get as much play as it should have.
To: HairOfTheDog
I've done the same thing. Interesting article thanks for bringing to our attention.

Thank you. :~D
I must be terribly un-hip. I've never read his stuff before and obviously others are quite familiar with him.
To: HairOfTheDog
He doesn't write often and his does write long but Bill is definitely worth adding to your Favorites.
To: HairOfTheDog
Bill Whittle is an incredible writer. Read every essay on his site, or as you said, buy his book.

Indeed... thanks!
Now that I've read this, I have this intense desire for everyone I know to read it.
Especially those who really need to read it... our fellow Americans at DU.
To: HairOfTheDog
IMHO, I would not focus so much on the lack of a uniform. Many of the colonists did not have uniforms when they fought the British...that did not make them comparable to the terrorists of today in the least. To the contrary, they were patriots fighting against the tyranny of their day.
Rather, it is how they fight, and who they target and how they go about it, that breeds the understandable and, IMHO, justafiable contempt. Today's terrorist homociders are usually young, fairly ignorant, ideologues who have been indoctrinated in a tyranical ideology/religion by modern tyrants (Bin Laden, Zarquwi, Arafat, etc.).

Buy his book - worth more than every penny.

To: Jeff Head
It's not just the lack of uniform, it's the absence of any code of conduct. It's the preying our best instincts, mercy, justice, compassion and responsibility.
It's beheading frightened prisoners on camera.
It's blowing up new schools and power plants.
It's blowing yourself up when the soldier who would tend to your wounds approaches you out of mercy.
And it's about those spoiled spoiled cowards in this country who would think these things are our fault and not our enemy.
And our news... I despise them because this is what they think is news. Iraq: Pictures show Saddam Hussein in his underwear
To: HairOfTheDog
This is a must read, hands down. Thanks for posting it.
To: HairOfTheDog
AGreed...on all counts. The lack of uniform is relatively minor to me. If you have to fight, you fight as you are. The uniforms will catch up if and when they can. As I indicated, the major issue is how they fight, who they target and how...and what they are fighting for. All of which you also pointed out in your last.
