As I suspected, Mr. Stein really doesn't know anyone on active duty, hasn't been to any bases or any of the service academies, hasn't met with wounded or returning troops, and generally admits to being blissfully ignorant of the military.
With this attitude throughout his community, it is no wonder Israel keeps giving up land.
F*** you, Stein.
This guy dares to compare our troops combat experience to his 'experience' with pop-up ads on his laptop?
Then he says he doesn't want parades for our troops because of the traffic jams they might cause?
What a punk!
Stein's mother should have aborted this P.O.S. writer for the LA Times. Shame on her for allowing this jerk to even breathe our free air.
Well that didn't take long.
He is also blissfully ignorant about what war means...what duty means...what honor means.
Actually, I respect Stein's honesty. He says outloud what most of the left really thinks but is afraid to admit. His opinions may be repellent; but at least he isn't trying to get power by hiding them, like the rest of his democrat comrades (Joe Lieberman excepted).
So did Hitler, bin Laden and that Nazi in Iran. The guy is a jerk, like they are.
Exactly, he's saying exactly what all the "I support the troops but don't support the war" crowd actually feel, but don't want to admit. I have more respect for him than I do those people, because at least he's making a honest stand for his position, and hopes to either win or lose the argument based on the merits of his position. The rest of them are trying to get their way through duplicity.
Yep.
Here, here, ModelBraker. The whole 'support' for the troops is such crap. When you really question these people who are against the war, but for the troops, you find that they really hate the troops too. They think the military tortures and kills innocents. Stein is just saying what most on the left think.

Stein's bio from the LA Times:
"Joel Stein is desperate for attention. He grew up in Edison, N.J., went to Stanford and then worked for Martha Stewart for a year. After two years of fact-checking at various publications, he got hired as a sports editor at Time Out New York. Two years later he lucked into a job as a staff writer for Time magazine, where over seven and a half years he wrote a dozen cover stories on subjects such as Michael Jordan, Las Vegas, the Internet bubble and — it being Time and he being a warm body in the office — low-carb diets.
Being desperate for attention, he has appeared on any TV show that asks him: VH1's "I Love the Decade You Tell Me I Love," HBO's "Phoning It In," Comedy Central's "Reel Comedy" and E! Entertainment's "101 Hottest Hot Hotties' Hotness."
After teaching a class in humor writing at Princeton, he moved to L.A. at the beginning of 2005 to write a column for the Los Angeles Times. He still contributes to Time and whatever magazines allow him to. But his heart belongs to you, L.A. Times reader. Only to you."
Stein and vermin like him are doing America a favor.
Let us know who you are.....
Silly boy.
Well, the LAT just closed one printing plant near me. Maybe they'll close another one someplace else!
