- tripile 4y agoSurely you’re not as Irish as the Irishman in the article…who lives in Britain…and served for 30 years in the British Army…?
- s_dev 4y agoYeah -- that was the first thing I thought. Probably has Irish ancestry but a British passport/accent.
- kevinh 4y agoUnfortunately, HN users tend not to care about the quality of news sources when it comes to "culture war" issues. This'll just turn into a platform for people to air grievances and repeat their ideological stance. If it makes you feel better, most people won't actually read the article.
- ziddoap 4y agoThis thread has several different people commenting that the source is questionable, posting other sources, explaining why this source isn't great, etc. Which is what I see, quite often, in posts that have questionable sources. Your view of "HN users" (excluding yourself from that group, presumably?) doesn't seem to align with my experiences.
- kevinh 4y agoDespite the criticism, this post is currently #4 on the front page.

I challenge you to come up with a source, any source, which hasn't done the same thing many times over when it comes to "culture war" issues. Please show me what a quality source looks like here...
- midislack 4y agoIs there anything factually incorrect about the article though?
- stjohnswarts 4y agoIs there something here that they reported that was incorrect? Wernher von Braun was a Nazi during the war, but was also head of various rocket programs in the USA after the war. A "thing" can have two purposes and still be useful
