Why The Left Hates The Military: A Comment

Found on MJT's blog:

The left hates the military because it is made up of young people, many of whom are women and minorites, that for the most part come from lower income families. That's their demographic! But these people are different. They have the nerve to take responsibility for their lives, rather than rail against "the man", wrap themselves in vicim-hood status and sue for equality through watever legislation that can be packaged as "levelling the playing field" or "giving a leg up".

What's even more perplexing to the left is that many in the military really love their country. I'm talking about real pride here, not the "I support the troops, but" category that is the best most on the left can do. Benjamin from yesterday illustrates this. MJT posts some nice pictures from PR, and all Ben can do is run off to dig up whatever dirt he thinks casts America in a bad light. Typical and disgusting.

Yessum massa lefties...
