In fairness, this all started with troops talking shit to each other. A time-honored tradition.

Unless I'm missing something, this is civilians talking shit about the troops

First thing I remember was Tim Kennedy calling him a douche for insisting on being referred to by rank and name, which I get. He was SOF and that culture would frown on it more than most. And someone we both know sent me this article that I did not read.https://pluralist.com/alexander-vindman-slammed-benghazi-hero/49999 …

So from my point of view it was conservative military guys who got the ball rolling.

Hey, fair enough. I agree Kennedy is triggering off SOF vs Staff cultural differences and of course there are soldiers who ignore the "and domestic" clause But the accusation of espionage seems to have come from some Harvard lawyer. No one in that Pluralist article went that far

My point is that the only troops who count for the right seem to be troops that say the right things They also like dead heroes, of course. And living ones who shut the fuck up so they can be used as a counterargument to any policy that involves spending money

Oh no doubt. They hide behind the troops like human shields for so many arguments. It’s the same way so many on the left treat women and POC’s. They only count if they say what they’re “supposed” to say.

I think women can be mysogynistic--happens all the time. And I think it's good to talk about it But I agree that any "no real woman would think that" no true Scotsman thing is bad. Dishonest, and also it sure doesn't make people want to listen to anything we have to say
