An excellent reply to a story that was simply astounding in its superficiality. The actual source of the original story was an antiwar "expert" whose livelihood depends on the ability to portray veterans as damaged human beings. That the NY Times chose to give him a sounding-board was explicable only by the fact that he fits their narrative regarding the war. That they should do so on the basis of such flimsy and easily-refuted statistics speaks purely to a lack of professionalism.

There is far more reason to fear the “Old Grey Witch” than to fear our vets of any era.

OIF vet who hasn’t murdered anyone bump.

But...but...but I thought Helen Thomas said that it was the PROFESSIONALS who had the ethics and the bloggers were the ones who didn't....? *eyeroll*

ROFL!! Nice!

You’re right. That was worth every minute spent reading.

“...reflects the Freudian terrors leftists feel when confronted with men who don’t have concave chests...”

Freakin priceless!

Although the short author bio line at the end means I could be in harm’s way, heh!
