Removing All Doubt

I promise, this will be my last post on Arkin. But for those who claim that Mr. Arkin is not necessarily anti-military despite his infamous columns, it would appear that you need to discuss that with him. Arkin describes himself as "probably one of the best-known and respected anti-military military bloggers." So, unless you're going to now tell me Arkin is lying about himself, let's put to bed the notion Arkin has some underlying respect for the men and women he slimed so viciously in his recent posts.

Comment policy

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.

Andrew, it is perfectly possible to not like an institution, but not have anything against individuals in it. I don't like the institution of professional boxing, and maybe would describe myself as anti-boxing, but that doesn't mean I think bad things about individuals who box. You can be anti-military, but not anti-soldier.
You can respect people who are part of an insitution that you don't like.
