This photo is very touching.
they loath everything and everyone, beginning with themselves.
The Marine murder story inspired them to create some news of a “wider trend.”
I am sure journalism schools and watchdogs like the Poynter Institute will cry foul on it.
Not.
It's an election year, and the incumbent Commander-in-Chief is a Republican. Seems obvious to me.
One tremendous pool for the best law enforcement officers we could get! Lessons learned character folks. How golden!
Someone did the math and again, expose the Slimes for what they are, shills for America's enemies.
PTSD, like Depleted Uranium or any other false causes are nothing more than slogans they carry on a sign hanging on their back. They are not concerned with the truth nor the Vet, they simply see this as another angle of attack.
Looks like MAF got involved, too!
Thirteen threads, still alive in blogland and dead for several days in MSM.
This photo is very touching.
Of course not, "normal lives" for NYT are cocaine addicted homosexuals.
Yet not a liberal voice in defense of the 50 million plus murdered, USA aborted babies in the name of Choice.
Everyone knows that widespread tobacco use destroyed this nation 168 years ago, or did they forget? Sh-theads
also debunked with stats here:

“What is so much incredibly worse about this story, however, is not the bias and not the predetermined outcome. It’s the blatant disregard for the facts, which fly in the face of this story and destroy the myth of US soldier as war-haunted homicidal maniac.
From the October 1, 2001 start of the Afghanistan war, that’s about 26,000 troops/month. To date (Jan 2008) that would give about 1.99 million.
That means that the NY Times 121 murders represent about a 7.08/100,000 rate.
Now the numbers on deployed troops are probably high - fewer troops from 2001 - 2003; I’d love a better number if someone has it.
But for initial purposes, let’s call the rate 10/100,000, about 40% higher than the calculated one.
Now, how does that compare with the population as a whole?
Turning to the DoJ statistics, we see that the US offender rate for homicide in the 18 - 24 yo range is 26.5/100,000.For 25 - 34, it’s 13.5/100,000.
In other words, the homicide rate for returning military personnel is dramatically lower — one-half to less than one-third as much as the general population. The entire thesis of the story is not only false but portrays the exact opposite of the truth!”
The Times is just showing the Kool-aid drinkers that there’s another generation of soldiers to urinate on.
The irony is that it’s the NYT who wants to bring these “murderers” home.
Of course, that stands to reason... They want to empty the jails too.
Lifton is co-editor of a new book titled “Crimes of War: Iraq.” The book is being published 35 years after Lifton and the same editorial team published the landmark book “Crimes of War” about Vietnam.

Veterans returning from war are never the same - some for the worse and some better. One thing for sure, most combat veterans can seperate the s—t from Shinola. They can apperciate the realities of life and find phoneys intolerable. In that respect, they find it difficult to live with meaningless liberalism.
IRAQ.....MUST....BE....BUSH'S....VIET NAM.....
It' all they know; it's the only template.
It isn’t that the NYT got caught - again - it’s that they got caught so easily. Doesn’t anybody at that newspaper do any fact checking anymore?
