The Prize for the Ultimate Warmonger
July 18, 2006
From a reader who questions my “integrity as a writer, historian and as an American,” and calls me a “traitor,” this statement wins this gentleman the prize for being the ultimate warmonger:
“Every war that has ever been fought and ever will be fought by the United States has been just and has been for honor.”
The government and the military could not ask for a more loyal piece of cannon fodder.
