On... The Marines

With the increase of soldiers in Afghanistan in preparation for the summer offensive and the conclusion of the HBO miniseries The Pacific past, Victor Davis Hanson has Marines on the mind.

The (Fantasy) World According to Contessa Brewer

It is amazing that people (especially people who get paid in a media career) can think in such a way. Who thinks this way? And who actually states it out loud? This is a mindset that I can't wrap my head around. What world are they living in? This PC fantasy world where they wish 9/11 (and every other conflict/prejudice between races, religions, etc. )never happened and everyone holds hands and sings and embraces each other and compliment are showered all around about their awesome differences is such mawkish tripe. Talk about drinking the Kool-Aid.
