It is not often a blog post gets my blood boiling, but MM posted this tonight and just about did the trick. It churns my stomach just to read the crap coming out of A. Whitney Brown’s pie-hole. Has this man no sense of history? Does he not understand how this country would not be here today except for the brave men who picked up muskets, formed militias and stood up to the strongest military in the world in our colonial days?
Brown says that an Army is an indictment of our inability to negotiate and persuade. Okay, guess we should have persuaded Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito?
The final insult? We’re retarded! Guess he doesn’t know that every officer is required to have a Bachelor’s Degree, many have Master’s (including me). Additionally, the current enlisted and NCO ranks have the highest educational levels ever, many of them have advanced degrees above a high school education. Boy, this guy chaps my butt! But, not just retarded, morally retarded! After 18 years, I’ve seen the most moral, ethical and professional people here than in any of my civilian jobs. We take our responsibilities and obligations very seriously; our morals are sound!
We understand the nature of the beast; our place on a pedestal, knowing that the world watches our every move. We cannot afford to be immoral and unethical. We, as a whole, have perhaps more responsibility to our fellow humans than any other organization in this Nation.
Daily Kos diarist: Still thinks troops are “morally retarded”
By Michelle Malkin • August 5, 2007 09:48 PM
Well, the YearlyKos convention is over, but the nutroots are still marching on. A few weeks ago, Kos himself assailed “nasty rhetoric” that was “rampant in the primary war diaries” of the Daily Kos website. Yet, the site went ahead and featured a troop-bashing rant by Saturday Night Live has-been A. Whitney Brown, who wrote:
“Do I still support the individual men and women who have given so much to serve their country? No. I think they’re a bunch of idiots. I also think they’re morally retarded.”
The guy is itching for more attention. I know I’m violating the no-troll-feeding rule here, but the post sheds needed light on the same anti-military animus that led to the squelching of Sergeant David D. Aguina at the YKos convention last week (see Rick Moran’s interview).
Brown has posted another diatribe at Kos repeating his smear on our men and women in uniform as “morally retarded.” A snippet:
For this view, I have been called Anti-Military.
My response is this: Who on earth could be Pro-Military! The purpose of a military is to kill. It is at best a necessary evil. Necessary only because someone else has a military that threatens our survival.
Pro-Military? That’s like being Pro-Abortion! Or Pro-chemo-therapy!
No! In a world of ignorance, greed, and ambition it is a practical matter that we defend our peace and security against the militaries of others, but the goal is always to have as little military as needed, and no more than absolutely necessary. Currently we spend more than all the rest of the world put together.
A military is an extortion demanded of us by other militaries, a practical acquiescence to the world as it is, but only a sadist, a brute, a glory-monger, a thief or a tyrant can look at a military as a good thing, noble in itself.
Only a society blind with avarice or fear would see a military as anything other than an indictment of our inability to persuade! And yes, an indictment of our courage to try.
Here is an Unknown Known – something we all know but are not aware we know: A Man Cannot Be a Hero in Service To an Unjust Cause. What kind of society would rob it’s (sic) soldiers in such a way? A twisted, sickened society.
Hillary? Obama? John Edwards? Any comment?

Only a idiot is Anti-Milltary, the allied forces have defended thier nations against the nazis, the commies, and the now the islamic extremest, without them, we would be over run by all three
Making a comment like that is morally retarded. Good thing folks are calling him on it.
I’m not so much into calling him names, that would put us down at his level. But, I would say that he’s been literarily irresponsible, biased and narrow-minded.
“But, I would say that he’s been literarily irresponsible, biased and narrow-minded.”
Those are four pretty good names.
