Rising Hegemon
Today's column by America's Concern Troll is a model of truth and sobriety about today's cult of the military.
Which is nice.
Except for Richard Cohen the time for such statements is made years too late.
We are a good country, attempting to do a good thing. In a post-Sept. 11 world, I thought the prudent use of violence could be therapeutic. The United States had the power to change things for the better, and those who would do the changing -- the fighting -- were, after all, volunteers. This mattered to me.
The hack is ruled by his emotions and running with the tide, the great thinker and writer is the person who can see when his emotions are telling them bullshit.
Which is why the Washington Post and most of American politics and media is pile of shit.
Post-hoc ineffectualness is his calling card -- along with sexually offensive statements.

"... the prudent use of violence could be therapeutic...."
Let's hope this asshole doesn't have any kids.
typical "wife beater" mentality... doncha know, everyone's better off after a little beating...
i found it theraputic to bet o n my younger brother WHEN I WAS A CHILD.
it's good them soldiers were all volunteers too, leaving us gentrified sorts exempt and free to pontificate about therapy, not niggled by worries about morality or collateral damage.

You know what's therapeutic, Richard? Drinking Drano.
Think outside the pipes, S_McG.
You know what's therapeutic, Richard? Putting drano in Old Man Broder's coffee, and rolling Krauthammer down the stairs.
Three little birds, one stone.
