Sometimes Lefties Just Can’t Help Themselves
Posted on September 19, 2008
Have you ever had that feeling that if you didn’t say or write something, your head would explode? This Leftie must have felt the same way, when he wrote what those on the hard left really feel (via Little Green Footballs)
PERHAPS the most insidious byproduct of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has been a reflexive sanctification of the military. To put this in bumper stickerese: Support the Troops.
Well, I have an ugly confession to make: I don’t support the troops – at least not unconditionally. When somebody tells me they serve in the military, my first impulse isn’t to say, “Thank you for your service!” like those insufferable chickenhawks on talk radio.
My first impulse is to say, “I’m sorry to hear that.” Because I am. I’m sorry to know that the person I’m talking to might someday be maimed or killed on the job, or might someday kill someone else. Or refuel a plane that drops bombs on buildings.
I can’t see how anyone who calls himself or herself Christian – or human, for that matter – wouldn’t be sorry.
The fact that we have an army, that we need an army, is inherently tragic. It’s an admission that our species is still ruled by fear and aggression.
You don’t think the writer, Steve Almond, would do something as crazy as donating 100% of the profits from his book sales to Barry, do you?

As a unapologetic Christian supporter of the military in all its’ forms, I really feel sorry for little Stevie. Yes, it’s truly tragic that there are jihadis out there who just want to kill you because, uh, um, because they want to kill you.
Maybe he could stop singing “Kumbaya” long enough to thank those who have the cojones to actually stand up for something and truly fight for it.
As an unapologetic Pagan supporter of the US Military, I volunteered my body and my life for my country and accepted the possibility of loosing both, to defend my nation and my people.
I stopped feeling sorry for the “little Stevie’s” a long time ago once I really discovered how they think. How they truly believe that anyone who is willing to die to defend his country is a fool and must be defective.
They have used up all of may pity and my patience on the subject.
As an unapologetic Christian veteran who was spat upon when returning from his war service, allow me to take this time to THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, Bubba Man.
SaLUTE!
