- Aetius 16y agoI'm actually not one of those antiwar protesters that crawls in ditches. I didn't say "they should be against" the wars. I just said they should be critical of it; as a publication-of-record it's their job to critique major national issues.
- nhebb 16y agoEveryone should be critical of wars. I think there's a knee jerk reaction to label war critics as partisan, but questioning war really should be apolitical. I'm a veteran (go 10th Mountain!) and a Republican, and I'm critical of wars. I don't feel that we have a clear, achievable goal in Afghanistan, and I'm appalled at the complete apathy by the media and America public to the fact that we are at war, both taking and losing lives.
