Why does anyone believe The New York Times about anything, ever?
David, thanks for your service, and I agree that there are problems that urgently need to be addressed re: the care and benefits given to vets. I also agree that the Bush administration, Bush included, is blameworthy for the fact that some of these problems persist.
That said, you’re smoking your socks if you think the article in question did not put down the military.
And I’ll say one thing more – the authors and editors of that article are not fools, they are liars. I say that based on one premise: No one could be involved in producing an article on (behavior x) in (social subgroup x) without even CONSIDERING the statistical context of the larger society. Those folks are smart, they went to college, they KNEW they were putting out a deceptive article. That was their intention.
