With this story, the New York Times once again provides ample reason why advertisers and the public should look elsewhere for their news & information.
It is ironic the NYT has failed to understand that those who abhor war more than anyone else, are soldiers.
However, those same soldiers know that the freedoms the NYT & other media enjoy, have been bought with the blood, sweat, & tears of those who fought those conflicts or stand by in the ready.
Peace has a price & all Americans should be thankful we have those willing to pay that price for all of us. Pacifism is a wonderful utopian dream. However, all dreamers must eventually wake up to the realities of life. Utopia is a dream state, & to reach it, all one needs to do is die. To try to practice the utopia pacifists want us all to embrace in real life, all everyone needs to do, is drink the kool aide of surrender & slavery to tyrants who pretend to be more intelligent & to know better than all others.
This story explains why the NYT is financially falling behind & will continue to do so. Hopefully her advertisers will realize that stories like this one, do not represent the majority of Americans, & such stories are an anathema to those who love freedom. So why should an advertiser be associated with such an organization? Or a reader for that matter?
Whatever problems soldiers have after returning from combat, it is our responsibility to help them overcome with proper medical treatment, not to demonize them or portray them as out of control fanatics by using conjured mathematics. In the end, the real choices are these. Fight & remain free, or give up & live under the subjugation of tyrants who make George Bush look like Casper the Friendly Ghost!
