No one has provided a convincing argument why Scott Ritter should be vilified for preaching a message of restraint. The man is a Marine. He is educated and uses his intelligence with such skill that compliments the Marine Corps reputation for recruiting and promoting such men. Just because Ritter speaks so eloquently against a bloodbath where, no doubt, many of his friends (maybe someone close to you) will get killed is no reason to profane his intentions with name-calling. I believe that people who have fought wars should have the last word on when we war on other people. When combat veterans speak on this issue, all others should pay them proper respect with thoughtful attention.
