A Massachusetts law professor has created a campus firestorm with an email to colleagues that declares it would be "shameful" to send care packages to U.S. troops "who have gone overseas to kill other human beings."
Michael Avery, a professor at Suffolk University Law School, sent a five-paragraph email to colleagues in response to a school-wide appeal for care packages for deployed soldiers, Fox affiliate WFXT-TV reports.
"I think it is shameful that it is perceived as legitimate to solicit in an academic institution for support for men and women who have gone overseas to kill other human beings," Avery wrote.
The professor, who specializes in constitutional law, wrote the email last week in response to a university drive to collect items for U.S. troops, like sunblock and sanitary products. He also wrote that sympathy for American troops in harm's way is "not particularly rational in today's world."
Paul Spera, past commander in chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, blasted Avery's remarks on Monday, calling the professor's argument "despicable."
"The shameful thing is that he’s teaching our young people," Spera told FoxNews.com.

“Prof arrogant and ignorant . He shows no respect for class or school . Do not take this class.”
What I plan to do: get more peanut butter, trail mix, sunscreen, etc. and send another one.
LOL. Maybe he saw Clinton there?
Especially since there are so many rabid America haters, outright traitors, Marxists, socialists and others like this professor right here in America who are equally deserving of their efforts.
He has no email address because he lives at Occupy Boston at present.
Former President of national Lawyers Guild - a Marxist front group.
"That would bring the war to standstill."
[ed. note: Insert drum roll and rim shot here]
Maybe it is shameful that people are sending care packages abroad for soldiers to kill people overseas. We should be sending care packages to soldiers to kill Leftists here.
As our liberty evaporates, maybe we can console ourselves with destroying Leftists.
LOL. What do you consider "pretty old" to be?
****for men and women who have gone overseas to kill other human beings****
Does he not know they were sent by the President with the consent of Congress?
Please tell me is not a Constitutional Scholar or an English professor. (Surprised he didn’t type ‘have went’).
(FReepmailed in error;)
Someone should send a Ted Kazcynski (sp?) style care package to this treasonous creep.
Ping to view later - just so I can put a face to this d!ckhe@d - planning on writing to him just to give him a reminder that’s he’s not “all that and a bag of chips”!
What was his KGB code name?
I’d like to give him 100 strokes of the cane on his candy a$$ to teach him some respect. I’d make sure he couldn’t sit down or lie on his back for at least 4 months.
> IS EVERY University a stinking cesspool!!!!!!!
Pretty Much !!!
Read the post and then note this in Avery’s CV in post # 8 by ‘John Adams’:
“attended University of Moscow, U.S.S.R. 1968-1969.”
Says enough to me.
That this is now a fringe opinion speaks volumes about the success we have had in rehabilitating the image of our troops and veterans.
