Pity Party Pooper
Speaking of the current inclination to treat American troops as victims, Robert Kaplan had an excellent article in the Wall Street Journal last week about that very phenomenon.
Rather than hated, like during Vietnam, now the troops are “loved.”
That line says it all, but you should read the whole thing. Kaplan is America’s finest military correspondent (he writes for The Atlantic Monthly) and is qualified to report on the temper of our troops.
