This guy Arkin is profoundly Stupid, even more so because he puts his thoughts on paper.
The troops deserve our undying respect and support because they are putting their very Lives on the line to protect the ungrateful and treasonous morons like arkin.
This article is a good example of aid and support for the enemy.
People like Arkin may begin to understand the threat to our country when the Musllim terrorists blow up a few American Cities with Nuclear Bombs as the terrorists and their leaders promise to do.
At that time he may develop a higher regard for the Brave troops protecting his butt, if he's not already Fried to a
Crisp.
Smokes them out every time.
This activist at the WaPo should get the Axis Sally award.
Arkin appears to take the position that the U.S. military is not worthy of the nation that it protects. Some highlights:"These soldiers should be grateful that the American public, which by all polls overwhelmingly disapproves of the Iraq war and the President's handling of it, do still offer their support to them, and their respect. Through every Abu Ghraib and Haditha, through every rape and murder, the American public has indulged those in uniform, accepting that the incidents were the product of bad apples or even of some administration or command order."

"But it is the United States and instead this NBC report is just an ugly reminder of the price we pay for a mercenary - oops sorry, volunteer - force that thinks it is doing the dirty work."
Liberalism is indeed a Mental Disorder!
Still waiting for the Left to denounce the warcrimes of the "insurgent" terrorists (many of whom are not even Iraqi).
Also waiting for the Left to denouce the actions of the riotous "protesting" anarchists.
Nope, all they can do is Blame America.
But, of course, such sentiments as expressed on his 'own time' would NEVER color his coverage of the war, now, would it....?
IIRC, Arkin IS the same LAme Times columnist who said that we were overreacting to 9/11.
"REMF"
I note the article at Hugh Hewitt's update sez he spent 4 years in the army, 1974-1978, in intelligence of some sort. Any way to verify what he actually did? Possible wannabe who lied about his service or what he did in the service?
His incoherent writing style tells me he wasn't very good at it.
Also, Ffrom his diatribe it's most likely he has the similar mindset to Sen. John Kerry.
Eh, my bad. Right newspaper, but the columnist was David Bell.
Traitors all think alike. You're right. I wear it as a badge of honor to be chosen by them as one of their enemies. bttt
This week the NYT called out a reporter covering the War for expressing support for the "Surge".
Previously a member of Greenpeace, also. Lotta crap on him when googled.

Don't hold your breath. Remember being a leftist means never having to say you're sorry....or wrong.
Link? Thank you.
“The inability to distinguish between what is real and what is imaginary. Psychosis is a term used to describe a severe mental illness. Psychotics are characterized by a variety of symptoms that most people consider abnormal. These include experiencing delusions, such as the notion that one is being persecuted or conspired against. Psychotics may see things which don't actually exist and hear Voices (i.e. God) when no one is around. They often exhibit compulsive, irrational, ritualized behavior, esp. when such behavior serves no purpose or is even harmful or disruptive to those around them. They show no concern for others but may exhibit total self-centered behavior. Includes sociopathy, schizophrenia.”
