Conservative Donnybrook

In an effort to understand the mindset of persons of the Paleo persuasion, I have spent the last couple of days reviewing material on Taki’s, Chronicles and even PJB’s site.  What really caught my attention was the anti-military theme played out on Lewrockwell.com.  Rather than producing a justly deserved, long diatribe on how horrible most of the “intellectuals” at LW are, I thought I would simply let you see for yourself just how much many (but not all) of the Lew Rockwell types hate those serving in an American military uniform.  This is by no means an exhaustive list; in fact this collection covers only a portion of the slander levied at members of our armed forces THIS WEEK!  Enjoy.

“I suspect Iraqi officials had not heard the f-word used so many times in one sentence since they last had to pass a roadblock manned by Marine lance corporals.”

“Why do militarists proudly point out soldier’s benevolent acts toward civilians suffering the effects of war when it is the soldiers that caused the suffering in the first place?”

“Why are soldiers considered the ‘best and the brightest’…Shouldn’t they be referred to as the ‘clueless and easily deceived?’”

“It takes a heap of chutzpah to impose sanctions on a country, kill… hundreds of thousands of children and others with weakened immune systems, then invade the country, killing hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children by bombing, shooting, shelling, beating, stabbing, suffocating, and immolating them, then create such chaos and violence among the populace that millions are forced to abandon their residence and rendered homeless, then announce your regret that so few speak in favor of moderation.”

“U.S. forces continue to occupy Iraq and Afghanistan and to brutalize their people.”
