Good God. RT @DanaRohrabacher: ... Supported eliminating bloody Saddam, but in retrospect it wasn't worth it. Iraqis ungrateful
Why on earth should *journalists* be in the business of enforcing adherence to a gauzy, ahistorical view of war & veterans?
In some ways, the term "hero" is just as dehumanizing to our service members as "savage" is to our enemies. Both make war too easy.
God, this brings back 2003-04, when the whole nat'l conversation was driven by the macho fantasies of pasty middle-aged keyboard warriors.
"Big gov't." RT @amaeryllis: you know what our veterans need? mental health & social support services to re-orient them to our communities.
Seeing soldiers & veterans as *actual human beings* - scared, flawed, confused - gets in the way of romanticizing war & can't be permitted.
