An honest liberal

There's been much twittering a fluttering on the Right regarding Joel Stein's unabashed dislike for the troops, as well as for the war, something he expresses in his LA Times editorial. Hugh Hewitt dragged him through a grinder for not being grateful to our troops, and others have been equally derogatory. I differ from these people, and find myself entirely in Anne's camp. She finds Stein "refreshingly honest" for having abandoned the unsustainable position of "I love the troops/they're evil killers." (Those last six words aren't Anne's words, they're mine. If you want to read Anne's much more elegant, logical approach, you'll have to go here.)
