    This guy thinks that Andrew Bacevich, who served as a colonel in Vietnam & whose son served & died in Iraq, is an unserious person.https://twitter.com/AbeGreenwald/status/1127406143297421312 …

    “The forever war” is how unserious people describe the efforts that have created the longest stretch of (U.S.-backed) global peace in human history. I’ll take it. https://twitter.com/mattduss/status/1126479194471522304 …

        The reasoning is incredibly stupid. The war on terror, which is what people mean by "forever war," is not actually responsible for the Long Peace. No credible scholar thinks that. If anything, it undermined it (cough cough Iraq cough cough).

        And is, let's not forget, an excellent historian and teacher, as his many students and colleagues (of whom I am one) who would attest.

        This “global peace” sure involves a lot of bombs being dropped on poor people.

        Some people are unserious, despite their service. It has to be judged on an individual basis.

        Fighting in wars automatically make people serious?

        "Not a serious person" was the late Michael Kelly's ultimate sneer, and look how well the longest stretch of (U.S.-backed) global peace worked out for him.

        The incredibly obnoxious thing about @abegreenwald's "take" here is that it tries to cast "global peace" as a "US-backed" phenomenon, essentially tacking credit for achievements made at an international, multilateral level.
