Fallen

Well said, John, well said ... it just so happens I read this same piece earlier. I was so pissed I decided to come here to "catch up".

Seems I have caught up ...

Again as I posted earlier... universal suffrage is one of the worst things that happened to this country. Give veterans... and only veterans... the vote.

Brilliantly said, John. Thanks. Linked.

John,
eloquent beyond description. I hope Arkin reads this and feels the shame he deserves.

If you put this screed by Arkin (Adam is MUCH fubbier) beside that of Professor David A. Bell's OpEd in yesterday's LA Times ("Did we overreact to 9/11?"), you have to wonder if it's something in the Evian. Or the Bath House steam. Sincerely, a Former Six-Year "Mercenary."

I have said it before but I still believe Deportation is the answer.

I see no precedent in history short Vietnam were Sedition of a active war effort was considered Free speech. I actualy believe in WW1 the Sedition & Espionage acts were the spelled out answer to such. Tag this as*wipe with NYT (posting the death of US soldgiers and classified information on active programs), CNN playing sniper videos (that also happen to be Jihadi proganda videos), NBC playing AQ video, Kerry sitting with Ketami (I know that is spelled wrong) saying the US is a international Pariah, Gore going to Saudi Arabia saying we torture blah blah, the Dem politician out west that refused to say the pledge, the Newsweek FAKE Koran flushing story, WHERE DOES IT BECOME OK TO QUESTION THIER PATRIOTISM????

Freedom of speech is freedom to disagree right up to when the choice is made, at that point after the choice is made and we are engaged it is everyones duty to honor Democracy and pull as ONE. Hence nation of many but one.

Sedition and Espionage is illegal and should be treated as a crime. Damm we need a leader with some Balls to take on the Pansie's and hold heart with our foreign enemies.

One of the things we on the pro-military side haven't quite got our minds around yet, I believe, is that the Code Pink left gets under our skin with various kinds of derision, like this Arkin person does.
The useful derision-in-response, it seems to me, is this: people like Arkin are not merely anti-US, but they are also essentially cowards, hiding behind their sneers and supercilious attitudes, knowing that the US military won't hurt them. If they had any courage, they'd take on the people who are proven murderers - the ones that the US military is fighting right now.

Arkin, iirc, was an officer in MI, iiirc, which makes his accusations all the more mysterious.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

excellent response

God Bless our brave troops!

How long has Ward Churchill been writing for the WaPo? Too bad chumps like this are allowed to take advantage of the freedom others have sacrificed to build and preserve. Oops, there I go, mouthing the platitudes of my masters.

He's certainly a master of sophistry. He equates volunteer with mercenary, implies that service is pawnship, and that facing down people who would gladly lop his head off and sell the video is "dirty work." You could mine this little diatribe for a semester's worth of lectures on fallacies and invective.

Frankly, the right should make Mr. Arkin its poster boy. He is an American Robert Fisk, the ultimate end of all the anti-war rhetoric of the left. They want to rule the world but only if they don't have to fight for it. He's the face of the MSM, and the reason it is ebbing into obscurity.

This bit of ugliness was from Arkin's blog at the WaPo. These are the people who failed to convince us that only by having editors could we get real news. No editor there would have OK'd it for publication on paper, so we are allowed to gaze into the real mind of this, their "expert" on military affairs. They would have put General Custer in charge of the BIA.

This skeevy little screed gives us a view directly into the void where a man's soul ought to be, only to find the nothingness staring back with sullen resentment. Not the image the Post would like to promote for its enterprise, I suspect.

This disdain is the real face of pacifism, masquerading as concern for life, it's really nothing. And I do mean nothing, utter darkness, vacancy, void, empty, nihility, absence of mind, non-being, absolute zero. He probably thinks it's nirvana, but it's the peace of outer darkness, where nothing exists because nothing has ever struggled into being.

Ah, where do we get such men...?
And another think, I'm opposed to hockey, but I support the players!

He makes me ashamed to be a liberal. I love our troops.:)

Thanks for doing this, John, because I was, for once, rendered speechless after I saw that article via Blackfive. Speechless and apoplectic. I tried to post a critique but I just couldn't make myself type straight. What does Kim du Toit say?-- rope, tree, journalist... some assembly required.

"...watching the exertions of men better than himself."

That pretty much sums it all up. He's a shallow, petty and sad little man.

This so-called man is a piece of human excrement.

He can go to hades.

That was amazingly well said. Thank you for doing so and for giving so generously of yourself to serve me and the people I love.

Linked.

We'll get this until we hit them where it hurts. Write to their advertisers. Tell them you won't support them while they support the Post.

The NY Times lost $4.50 a share. On their current trajectory, we won't have them to kick around much longer.

Don't buy their lies.

NBC News is dishonest only interveiwing soldiers who support Bush's war in Iraq. A majority of our general officers, active and retired, no longer support staying the course and neither do soldiers in the ranks. They're smarter than that. Riding around waiting to get blown up or kicking in doors is no way to win a war.

http://www.militarycity.com/polls/2006_main.php

"For the first time, more troops disapprove of the president’s handling of the war than approve of it. Barely one-third of service members approve of the way the president is handling the war, ac cording to the 2006 Military Times Poll."

Markg8,

That military times poll is rather flawed. Look at the methodology. Hell, I think they only asked about 400 people their opinion. That's a pretty big extrapolation if you ask me.

Liberals like this nutball often think of themselves as true altruist in context of throwing themselves in front of the camera for a worth cause. Like assaulting Soldiers with their spittle.

Ironically, the only true altruists in this scenario are the soldiers who would voluntarily throw themselves in front of a bullet aimed at those same nutball liberals.

Note to Arkin: "Don't spit on the hand that will voluntarily take a bullet for you." If he really is the mercenary you claim him to be, he may simply decide not to do it. And then where would you be?

markg8,

Disapproval of the way Iraq is handled includes wanting more troops and a larger effort. Don't equate saying disapproval of handling with saying that the war is wrong.

Bill

Yeah but, the troops should thank us. After all, they're just simple-minded children in uniform who've been duped by the Administration.

Without us, they wouldn't have any proper-thinking folk to tell them what to believe. The very fact they disagree with me is proof that they need my help.

I mean look, we've given them all sorts of ammenities in the warzone, and we don't even spit on them. All I want is a simple thank you.

I wrote my soldier pen pal the other day. Remember that time I sent you a DVD player to replace the one that got blowed up? Very thoughtful. So why don't you get up, stop bleeding, and give me the thanks that I so richly deserve?

And here is what the idiot offers by way of an apology:

"I was dead wrong in using the word mercenary to describe the American soldier today.

These men and women are not fighting for money with little regard for the nation. The situation might be much worse than that: Evidently, far too many in uniform believe that they are the one true nation. They hide behind the constitution and the flag and then spew an anti-Democrat, anti-liberal, anti-journalism, anti-dissent, and anti-citizen message that reflects a certain contempt for the American people."

He is vile....

Perhaps when my son, a United States Marine returns from Iraq -- if he returns from Iraq -- he will fight in the Second American Civil War. It really seems to me to be headed in that direction. We are not "as one" to quote posts above. The liberal left will never support my son and I will never support them.

How good are the liberals at handling SAWs, anyway?

MarkG8 has been posting the same thing everywhere. Ignore it.

John, this column is typical for Arkin. His career has been composed of exposing military secrets and slandering the military.

I'm not defending him, I'm just saying that's what he does, so this column isn't a surprise.

Ho Hum. Nothing really changes.

Those of you who weren't in or around the military during Vietnam are getting the first taste of what the "anti-war movement" led by dedicated "new leftists" who were the red diaper baby children of Pre-WWII communists, and composed primarily of draft age men who were cowards, their girlfriends, too ignorant of world affairs to understand the reasons for the war, who wanted to keep them home, and overprotective parents who didn't want their children to go to war, was really like and how they treated the men and women in uniform.

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention.

If Arkin were only wrong and misdriected.

He's anti-American at best.

But I take a different tack. His writings should be read verbatim to every citizen. That a damned fool like him can work for the Institutions and organs he gets paid by indicts the prints media and MSNBC as unworthy of further existence.

That's what they and he have earned and should get.

John,

Please send your blog to the Washington Post as a letter to the editor. We can't stand by and let these American "Insurgents" spew this kind of rhetoric.

Reading the new Counterinsurgency Field Manual brings it all into focus. Jane Fonda, The New York Times, and all the war pundits continue to state that the situation in Iraq needs to be solved with other than military means.

Here, Here!

Even General Patraeus knows that a counterinsurgency needs to be fought with non-military assets. Of course we need troops on the ground to help bring security to Iraqi neighborhoods, but the real war in Iraq is a fight for the hearts and mimds of the people of Iraq.

They have to have faith in their fledgling government and their government needs our support - financial, military, and psyhological. Iraqis will not stand up to the truely evil people in their communities unless they know that Americans will be around to protect them.

Too often in recent history, America has abandoned their allies and withdrawn to have America's friends slaughtered by their enemy - Vietnam, Somalia, the Kurds in Northern Iraq, the Shiites is Southern Iraq.

Now, American insurgents are undermining our efforts to actually bring security to Iraq by calling for a premature pullout. They are no more supporting our troops than Al Queada is. They should be careful, they may get what they want. If they do, chaos will reign in Iraq and Armegedon could be upon us.

What we are seeing here, with Arkin, Bell, perhaps a majority of both houses of Congress, and the mainstream media, is simply fatigue. Some of them were fatigued before we started the course, and others tired along the way. But they're all now spent, and they're quitters.

There is a core of our Nation that has not yet given up. Our President isn't a quitter. Yes, he has screwed up on some pretty important stuff (e.g., are we really now just beginning to kill our Iranian enemies in Iraq? Are we just now telling Maliki that his coddling of al Sadr is ended?), but Bush hasn't collapesed on the side of the road and started whining about how unfair our enemies and our supposed loyal opposition have become. He may change course, but he continues to know what we fight for. And he sustains his belief in the importance of winning that fight.

Our armed forces have not given up. With the politically correct rules of engagement they have been saddled with, it might be forgiven if their morale drooped. But no, it is those giving the most in this existential national effort who set the example of resolve for the rest of us.

To suggest that they are less intelligent or sophisticated, or to imply that they are more susceptible to criminal behavior than the general population, is worse than ignorance. It is perfidy. And it is cowardly.

I understand how fatigue can make one a quitter. But I'd appreciate if Arkin et. al would do their whimpering out of earshot.

I came here by way of Hugh Hewitt, by way of Blackfive.

Your response is the best I've read thus far, and far, far better than any I've composed about that mutant. People like him make me ashamed.

In order so that I may support My Troops in the way THEY deserve, in the way that my country deserves, I support their Mission. I have never understood the parsing away of the Mission by the Democrats and the irrational Left. That never made sense, nor should it.

It is only because America can claim citizens such as you, in the truest, most noble definition of citizen, that she can prevail. Prevail she must, in the form crafted by her Founding Fathers, or the hopes and dreams of millions of people around the world will evaporate.

Thank you. For your service, for being the kind of person who clearly you are, thank God.

....yeah, and I support the Chicago Bears. I just don't want them to play football.

We really should Arkin for dropping the mask. Of course we might not have him to kick around much longer. I expect his editors are not pleased.

We really should thank Arkin for dropping the mask. Of course we might not have him to kick around much longer. I expect his editors are not pleased.

Why is the volume of those who oppose louder than those of us who support?

Jean-Paul Sartre said it best, "Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat. "

John:

Thank God for for you and yours, John. God Bless you and the United States of America. And, God Bless our beloved men and women in the Armed Forces who are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Your essay is upliting to one whose heart pains and whose rage grows toward the Arkin's of this world.

>Code Pink left gets under our skin with >various kinds of derision.....

-name with held-

John,

William Arkin sounds like an asshole. I'm not going to defend him at all, but I do have an issue with what you wrote in response.

Listen, I respect the courage of the troops. I was a soldier once myself and I try to help you guys in my own small way (e.g., contributing to Spirit of America). I am just concerned that we aren't getting the results from our armed forces in Iraq commensurate with the hundreds of billions of dollars we have spent there. Your telling us that one of your buddies is studying Homer's epics and another is refining her cooking skills doesn't encourage me. I also think it's the wrong tack in trying to defend yourself against lefty journalists.

The mission of the U.S. armed forces is to win wars. Do that and no one will pay attention to lefty journalists. If you don't think you have the men, equipment or the rules of engagement you need to win, then spend your time making the case for what you need instead of wasting words on Aiken.

I am just concerned that we aren't getting the results from our armed forces in Iraq commensurate with the hundreds of billions of dollars we have spent there.

Except that a few billion of these dollars are being on the reconstruction efforts, not specifically military. Meaning that correlating military combat results with total fund spent is not an accurate measurement of success.

The war efforts (more specifically, only the negative side of the combat) is taking up 99% of the press coverage.

All the good things like rebuilding water supply, power, schools, medical facilities, and general infrastructure to rebuild their economy are pretty much being ignored, and left out as a factor for calculating overall success.

This article simply breaks my heart, my step son who is an Army Major has served 15 months in Iraq and I thought that was the longest year of my life (even longer than my dad's 13 months in Nam) but now the CAP Cadet I've been closest to for 6 years, child of my heart, is being sent to Al Qaim on April 10 as a USMC Corporal, and all I can do is cry and believe in his training, then I read things like this and cannot help but wonder why the sacrifice is ever made? It astounds me that supposed Americans could say things like this about our troops and there are so many who agree with them...my heart is breaking, a wonderful human is risking for garbage like this Arkin character, kind of makes you wonder what's the point?

Merry,

Just remember that your step son and corporal friend aren't doing it for people like them, they are doing it for people like you and all the people out here like you.

Thanks,
L.

Well said!! There's a great post over on Confederate Yankee, http://confederateyankee.mu.nu/ , (scroll down to Changing Opinions) that has an injured soldier's reply to Arkin that is amazing! Go take a read. The absolute gall of Arkin to think he can write something like this and then be 'surprised' at the respons?? If he hasn't realised now how badly he's misjudged folks across the US who don't expect the troops to support us - well I'm pretty sure he got a rude awakening. Unfortunately I'm just as sure that he won't learn anything from this.

Ladies and gents,

Arkin is just expressing the Washington Post's editorial consensus. This guy is the paper's military expert. (And he was the LA Times's before. Lord love a duck). And I believe he was not an officer, but a four-year enlistee... an MI weenie with a chip on his shoulder. Gee, that's about as novel as teenagers at the mall!

(No disrespect to the hard-working MI guys and gals, but you 96s, '7s, '8s, know the Arkin drama-queen type, don't ya?)

Like I said, this post of his was not aberrant. It was what the hive-mind of the WaPo thinks. Remember this Tom Toles cartoon?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/photo/postphotos/orb/style/2006-02-02/2.htm

"Hey mercenaries, go get crippled so we can have a good laugh" -- the Editors of the Washington Post.

OK, they still hate us. What's the news value in that? We get it. Anybody who was paying attention over the last thirty years knows it. (Everybody caught the bit about CBS War Slut Lara Logan narrating an Al-Q propaganda video for CBS, right?) The only thing the liberal democrats offer soldiers is contempt; except when (as the latest news, of Ms Pelosi demanding the USAF shuttle her various lobbyist/family-members around in VIP jets) they feel they can compel servility.

cheers

William Arkin and a host of other Americans just like him are traitors, guilty of giving the enemy aid and comfort, and deliberately undermining the war effort. Both are treasonous crimes with possible death penalties.

They commit treason (while claiming to 'support the troops' when it is obvious they do not) via flapping lips and blood stained fingers which leave no question as to what side they are on. They endanger troops and embolden the enemy, while claiming a 'right' to free speech, and a right to dissent.

We also have 'rights,' the first being the right to expect that laws against treason will be enforced. Here is an additional nine rights, together encompassing the top 10 rights of patriotic Americans during wartime.

1. to call dangerous behavior what it is
2. to demand responsible behavior during wartime
3. to call enemies of the war effort what they are
4. to declare that 'Loose lips sink Ships'
5. to demand the utmost honesty from media
6. to demand media support for the war effort
7. to demand media NOT reveal things that give aid and hope to the enemy
8. to demand that politically motivated media demoralization of troops cease
9. to expect patriotic Americans to keep the enemy guessing

Those who don't like these 'rights,' and persist in attempting to undermine the war need to get a grip because a war-powers act to establish exactly this kind of responsible wartime behavior is not out of the question at all.

Thank you so much for taking up for us. Im only a Marine Corps reservist and as such havent yet fulfilled my duty to our country (1st tour should be sometime this year) but these cowards who sit back and proclaim to know the minds of those who fight for their right to insult us really piss me off. He actually thinks WE are the naive ones?!?!

oh and btw- love the Tennyson quote. 1st heard it from Babylon 5

You really put into words some of my frustration with the liberal media here in Canada. I've seen a story about the family of a fallen soldier, and the press release they put out speaking for the value of his sacrifice - that they beleived in the war and the freedom it seeks to bring. I joked to myself that airing this must be bugging the station - they would have to do something to make up for it! Well they did, and this was the intro:

"But as much as his family may want to believe his death was not in vain..."

It made me so sick and angry that I couldn't watch. Just recently I watched a different channel's take on Bush's surge plan. They led with Guiliani in support, followed by a mishmash of dissent. It culminated with a guy linked with Al-Sadr's criticism, followed by the anchor's voice saying "some plan". For mainstream Canadian media, sectarian genocidaires are the ultimate in legitimacy, at least when they say an American plan will fail.

Things like this are where this war does resemble Vietnam.

But I'm not writing this to add to the fire: read this, written by a left leaning journalist/comedian (Canada's Jon Stewart, in a way)

http://www.theindependent.ca/article.asp?AID=1333&ATID=6

Bless you and thank you, John, for saying this so beautifully and righteously, and even more for your service. I'm not a religious man or a veteran, but I'm grateful for our army, marines, air force, navy, coast guard, national guard, police, firemen and -women, and all others who risk so much to keep America free and strong.

Arkin lets slip the mask

He simply let slip the mask held up to hide the hate of the Left.

Bush flew onto an Aircraft Carrier to give a hearty thankyou to our guys and gals by noting the end of the Iraq army with a statement of "Mission Accomplished".

That mission was. The reason the Left was angry was because it was a thankyou to the military they despise.

The new mission is peacekeeping. It's cost 20 times the lives and is still a work-in-progress. It's ugly... but not as ugly as the unfounded criticisms.

The (D)emocrats only plan is to demand "Hands off Iran" demonstrating that French oil profits and Russian arms sales are more important the the (D)emocrats then Human Rights violations, the export of terrorism or a nuclear holocaust.

A nuclear holocaust their appeasement enables:

"It is fine for Democrats to talk of “redeployment” out of Iraq, “engagement” with Syria and Iran, more soft power, Europeans and the United Nations, organizing “regional interests,” etc. — until one realizes that we did mostly just that for most of the 1990s.

And? We got Syrian absorption of Lebanon, Afghanistan as an al Qaeda base, a Libyan WMD program, worldwide serial terrorist attacks, Oslo, a Pakistani bomb, a full-bore Iranian nuclear program, Oil-for-Food — and 9/11. If one doubts any of this, just reflect on why the Democrats have not offered any specific alternative plans. And when pressed, they usually talk only of “talking” and thereby bring embarrassment to even their liberal questioners." -- VDH

Very well said. Can we start questioning thier patriotism now?

Bush ran like a striped-ass ape on 9/11. No one knew where he was. Our courageous Commander in Chief was nowhere to be seen or heard, and VP Pork Chop Halliburton was hunkered down in an undisclosed bunker somewhere. Not exactly Profiles in Courage, but wingnuts in general are a pretty chickenshit crowd.

The effect of the Iraq War on military families is one of the most underreported stories around. The mulitiple deployments are wreaking havoc on military marriages, and financial havoc on the families of the Guard and Reserve.

Well, I was for this war but I think we have made enough mistakes that contributed to the chaos.

As time has progressed, three things bothered me.

1.Catch and release - Utter shock at American policy on discovering someone caught planting IEDs is to give them full civilian habeas rights with 3 levels of judicial review THEN and Iraqi judge --and most caught with explosives, RPGs, Dragunovs are released.

2. Right now Jihad doctrine is not to win, but to bleed the infidel white in conducting ultra high-tech, ultra expensive warfare using vastly overqualified people that are regularly turned into corpses and amputees by a petty criminal paid 100 bucks to emplace a lethal charge by a road or wing off an RPG shot from a crowd. The latest estimate is the insurgency has spent 200 million dollars compared to our 630 billion plus interest we have to pay the Chinese, Saudis and Japanese for our deficit funded war.

I can't grab Arkin by the ear, and show him one of our squadron chefs, a young airman who works on her masters when she's not cooking meals for our crews. I can't take him to my friend Ryan's grave, a college graduate killed by an IED in Baghdad, who opted to honor his obligations as an enlisted man instead of pursuing a more lucrative line of work. Or introduce him to the security forces airman who walks long patrols through the winter snow, reciting the epics of Homer to himself so that he'll be prepared for his Classics exam. These people aren't the exception, they are the standard.

3. Then the standard is wrong. We need people trained in the language and culture of the combat zone - not Homeric epics, though that's perfectly "nice" to know. We don't need the "finest men I ever knew" elites with half a million to 1 million in training blown into hamburger on "presence patrols" that have no objective, by some Iraqi with 1 day's training. We need a way to figure out how to get a food provider that doesn't require 3 support troops to position her, and we don't need food line workers working on Masters...it adds little or nothing to a job that someone might take to get out of jail early.

"If there is a war that's unwinnable, it's the war on this type of horrid ignorance."

One of those German philosophers a couple centuries back said, "Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain." Still true, still true.

Schopenhauer? Schiller? Schomeone like that.

i repeat, WELL SAID.

the dhimmicrats are showing their true stripes now. and they aren't pretty.

they refuse to identify and understand the enemy, instead they have prayer vigils with them.

you should know that those of us, who wore our uniform proudly in the past, are VERY proud of today's soldiers/sailors/marines and airmen!!! keep you chin up and remember we're here for you.

regards,
jim

Now that all of a sudden Iran is being accused of being behind everything.
It makes me wonder how long it will be before they accuse Iran of being behind 9/11.

The only question will be if the public a dumb enough to believe Bush - again.

Hey John,
Thank you, and those like youreself who have so willingly given of your all, to the millions of unknown Americans like myself, the protection that we all so carelessly take for granted. Your gift to us is not unnoticed by those of us, who like myself, have served in the Armed forces in previous years.
We understand and appreciate your service more than we'll ever be able to display, and please know that you all are in my prayers everyday and night.
May the God of Abrham,Moses, and Jacob protect you all!
Everything you have said in your piece is true, and there is nothing that I can add to, that can improve on your point.
I really believe that the bulk of America is behind you and the mission, regardless of what the pansies in the MSM and print press are trying so desperatly to make the average American think.
Soon I believe there is going to be a backlash against the Perverted left in this country that has never been seen before.
I hope to be a part of that backlash. It is the least that I, or any American who supports our servicemen and president can do.
Those so called intellectuals,like "Arkin", are not true Americans in any sense. They are not even true humanitarians. They are nothing more than filthy cowards who are far more concerned with their own comfort and selfpreservation, all the while cloaking their cowardice in the thin layer of humanistic mumbo jumbo.

It is time for the Left to offer the country an alternative to the war on terror or shut-up. Free speech is not about whining and complaining, its about alternative views for action.

Arkin is a fool who lives in a make beleive world of DC where all things are possible if you only believe hard enough.

Hillary, Obama, Edwards are believers of Peter Pan like fairy tales. They offer no real perspective on how the US should proceed forward in a world where terror has proven an effective way to impose your will on the weak. I challenged all three of them to spell out a policy that squares with the reality we are confronting as a nation. The time for slogans and speeches is over. The time has come to forge polices that will enable America to prosper in a world filled with petty thugs and evils bastards out to destroy humanity for their small beliefs.

Bush's "Bring 'em on" death taunt is up to...

3,087....3,097 American victims

We lost 10 more over the weekend.

Mweean while, George W Custer pretends he's winning.

Blah Blah Blah. "The Left" is out to get us. I'm so scared...

Get some balls and stop being a Pussy in Republican clothing.

I saw this movie, it was called "Starship Troopers."

Great movie.
