One other thing I have considered is; why does an article like this see the light of day in a military publication?

That's what makes me sick. S&S typically tries to stay out of politics. They report on bills and new laws that directly effect the military, but they never have a slant this bad.

I don't read it as often as I used to. Maybe it's changed.

Usually, S&S is facts and reporting.

But, more than occasionally they slant to the left on stuff.
