NPR's All Things Considered ran a story of another America-hating peacenik hippie who has nothing better to do than plotting stategies to bash America and undermine troop morale. Actually, that's a bit redundant since anyone who opposes the Iraq aggression is necessarily those things, at least according to some people.
An Iraq war veteran with 10 years in the service faces a general court martial for refusing to return to Iraq. Army Sgt. Kevin Benderman of the 3rd Infantry Division says he is morally opposed to war after having witnessed it during his first tour in Iraq.
Oh wait, I'm confused...
I'm suspect that if Sgt. Benderman really thought Iraq had anything to do with our national security, he wouldn't hesitate to go back over there. And I suspect that if most Americans thought Iraq had anything to do with our national security, the National Guards wouldn't have such a tough time recruiting new members. If people really thought Iraq had anything to do with our national security, they'd be flooding the recruiters like they did during World War II.
Instead, people have finally smartened up to realize that they don't want to go off to become cannon fodder in support of an aggression done for dubious reasons and whose ultimate outcome and affect on American security can only be either bad or worse.
