Veterans returning from war are never the same - some for the worse and some better. One thing for sure, most combat veterans can seperate the s—t from Shinola. They can apperciate the realities of life and find phoneys intolerable. In that respect, they find it difficult to live with meaningless liberalism.
IRAQ.....MUST....BE....BUSH'S....VIET NAM.....
It' all they know; it's the only template.
Look for more of the blatant disregard of the facts should a liberal, Democrat or Republican, win the Presidency. We see the lack of common sense so much, it is becoming the norm.
It isn’t that the NYT got caught - again - it’s that they got caught so easily. Doesn’t anybody at that newspaper do any fact checking anymore?
Lifton was also a sponsor of the communist created and dominated National Committee for a Citizens’ Commission of Inquiry on the US War Crimes in Vietnam, letterhead, 1971 (as appears in my study “The Meaning of the Bicentennial: Volume One: The Peoples Bicentenntial Commission”, 1976 ACU (American Conservative Union) Education & Research Institute (Wash. D.C.)
He has always been a leftist and largely anti-America re Vietnam and now Iraq.
His book, “Thought Reform in Red China” was actually very good, but he leans to the Hanoi, Castro side of the marxist movement.
The John Jay College (Of Criminal Studies or something like that) was taken over by the far-left decades ago. Just check out their teaching staff.
I’d like to see some veterans walk into their offices and kick some liberal a$$!!
This article is one in a long line of “slime the returning veteran as a potential timebomb and killer” journalism that has arisen in the past 6 months. The Wash. Post has done a lot of smear jobs on our veterans, just as they did to the Vietnam veteran.
I have a lot of friends who are well-adjusted VVs, who have not gone out and shot their neighbors, raped nuns, or drank themselves into a stupor. They got jobs, families, and a life. Many of them are prize winning authors, journalists, and bloggers.
My son is a veteran of OIF, and he saw some things that upset him, but he has adjusted to it and has a good job, friends, and is enjoying life.
This is Vietnam all over again. However, this time we fight back (we took out that lying SOB Kerry, and there are more on the list).
No more slander of, sliming of, smearing of our servicemen and women. It stops here, now!
These people are just pure scum.
Send them a message or click on the authors name in the original nytimes piece and email them...i did
that is a good one
Here is a link to a good put-down of the New York Times by Ralph Peters writing in the New York Post. http://www.nypost.com/seven/01152008/postopinion/opedcolumnists/smearing_soldiers_265875.htm?page=3
The NYT is a communist rag whose continually declining circulation will soon put the paper? on a par with other paragons of the print-entertainment world such as Hustler Magazine.

Sorry for multi-post. Hiccup in my computer.
The source of this bogus story has been identified, the one the NYT got it from. I forget which radio program carried the info.
hmm..wonder what the kill rate per 100,000 is for the NYPD?
Maybe these 121 "victims" needed killin'
So, why the focus on vets that turn into murderers, NYTimes?
The answer to that question is so pathetically obvious...
Would you like to be the 1.34th incident of 100,000 people murdered by war veterans?
