LINK: Worshipping the Military, or the Society it Defends?

But some on the Right have moved well beyond respect for military service. They are demanding that the military – as an institution, and its members as individuals – be placed on pedestals beyond criticism. …But, conservatives now gravely intone, generals are to be praised and affirmed without question … at least when supporting the Iraq War.

The military exists only to protect civilian society. And members of that civilian society are entitled, even required, to conduct a robust debate over what uses of the military are proper, moral, and prudent.

Flip side for Hilary: she can’t be too aggressive without looking like a bitch. She’s toned down that harsh voice she used to have, although some websites have YouTube outtakes where she’s shown to have her nasty outbursts and attacks on the secret service and others. Telling moment: asked whether she’d prefer pearls or diamonds, she said: “Both.” No pretending she doesn’t crave wealth and power.

If I had been one of those guys up there, she definitely wouldn’t have gotten away with that. This reminds me of Dem. VP candidate Geraldine Ferraro when she and her liberal press tried to stifle questions about her in the debates because she was a woman and gentlemen cannot attack women. Well, gentlemen don’t attack ladies, but Hillary doesn’t qualify. If anything, someone should have suggested that she belongs to the “lying bitch club.”

Also, good of of softball questions and follow-up, Wolf. I guess we know who gets his vote now–or, else.

So far, no one has said anything about the debate except me. I guess you guys haven’t gotten your talking points from Kos yet.

This is the funniest comment of the month !!!
This coming from the person who uses phrases such as “Hates America”, “Supports Terrorists” and etc. when anyone criticizes Mr. Bush and the Iraq War.

Que Viva Fidel !!!

Show me where in the Constitution that it says that I don’t have the right to criticize Democrats and mommies who want to speak for their sons–or, anything similar for that matter.

This is an example of flame bait. No response is necessary.

Don’t you have anything to say about the so-called debate or do you only hang around to start arguments with me?

Also, you really don’t know if I served or not, because I have never stated it, but this country is not run by the military but by the civilians, so you can drop that nonsense that only military people can state opinons on war.
