I apologize for only allowing authenticated commenters, but comment spam overwhelms the site if I don't use those measures to prevent it. I reserve the right to delete any comment, although generally comments will only be deleted due to use of profanity or personal attacks on people. I have no objection to vigorous argument, but when name-calling begins, I'm putting a stop to it. In the immortal words of Eugene Levy, "People, people, let's stop this before somebody says something untrue!" If you want to call people names, I recommend you get your own blog.

apart from the culture clash - will you forgive me is my feminist toes curl when the only female soldier I saw is portraited in "get over yourself" as the person who has to accept help - because she appearantly is strong enough to realize she cannot do it herself?

Why would you require forgiveness?

I was brought up not to irritate people if I could avoid it - my mum lost the battle in the end but appearantly some of the reflexes remain :)

Well, as you should know by now, I am congenitally unable to not irritate people, so perhaps I'm more forgiving of such traits.

In the Netherlands I'm more or less in the centre, politically speaking. I think I can relate...

hmmm... my comment on the iraqi deaths / kerry thread are stopped because I didn't type in the (no longer existing) security code...??

It's fixed now. I'm afraid my comment system is thoroughly bollixed beyond my ability to repair.
