My speculation here is that knowing the LAT as we do, most are assuming -- as I did -- that it was merely a hit piece on our military by someone who isn't worthy of shining our guys boots.

Your speculation is far off the mark. Max Boot is a strong conservative and a strong supporter of Bush and of the WOT. He was (still is?) Editorial Features editor of the Wall Street Journal's editorial page, the country's premier conservative editorial page.

My speculation was right, but it seems that the assumption in that speculation may be wrong. That doesn't seem to be resolved with many still arguing for their interpretation of the article. I will read the article if it is published elsewhere. I will not go to the LA Times to read it.
