Yet another reason I despise the far left

In addition to the fact that many of them don’t bathe frequently, many of the ultra-left hate our military. And aren’t afraid to express their loathing. (h/t: Little Green Footballs)

Michelle Malkin just mentioned on Fox that I called our troops ‘morally retarded”.

I was not misunderstood nor taken out of context, an attempt at humor did not go astray, no, the truth is my view is genuinely despised. I can understand why. Nobody wants to think of themselves or their loved ones morally deficient.

Nevertheless, I admonish not from anger or to mock, but from compassion.

Ah, there it is! “I hate our soldiers because I’m compassionate! Aren’t I an enlightened and noble liberal for protecting them from the evil war machine?” Such sickening condescension!

Now, of course, when one joins, or is accepted into the military, of any country, this problem does not arise. Within the law, subject to the rules of engagement, it is strictly prescribed who one must or may not kill.
With the war in Iraq, as with most wars, the decision is made even easier for the seeker of wisdom, since they are often placed in a situation where the question practically answers itself.
But is it wise to surrender to turn over to a chain of command the right to choose your mortal enemy? To let another, no matter how superior, fill in the blank spaces on your killing list, as it were?
…
Such recklessness would indicate a fundamental failure of the innate moral facility. That is what I mean by morally retarded.

For this view, I have been called Anti-Military.

My response is this: Who on earth could be Pro-Military! The purpose of a military is to kill. It is at best a necessary evil. Necessary only because someone else has a military that threatens our survival.

Pro-Military? That’s like being Pro-Abortion! Or Pro-chemo-therapy!

No! In a world of ignorance, greed, and ambition it is a practical matter that we defend our peace and security against the militaries of others, but the goal is always to have as little military as needed, and no more than absolutely necessary. Currently we spend more than all the rest of the world put together.

A military is an extortion demanded of us by other militaries, a practical acquiesence to the world as it is, but only a sadist, a brute, a glory-monger, a thief or a tyrant can look at a military as a good thing, noble in itself.

Only a society blind with avarice or fear would see a military as anything other than an indictment of our inability to persuade! And yes, an indictment of our courage to try.

Here is an Unknown Known – something we all know but are not aware we know: A Man Cannot Be a Hero in Service To an Unjust Cause. What kind of society would rob it’s soldiers in such a way? A twisted, sickened society.

Yep, folks, you read that right. According to AWhitneyBrown, protecting the American citizens and their way of life from terrorists who want to behead them is an “unjust cause.” Such stunning ignorance from one so seemingly articulate.

*sigh*

Also, such a decidedly naive view of the world. *clasping hands and making big cartoon lovey eyes* Why, if it weren’t for our evil, nasty, retarded military, everyone would hold hands and play Ring Around the Rosies (no, wait, that’s a song about the plague). Why, if it weren’t for our evil, nasty, retarded military, everyone would hold hands and skip merrily in the sunshine, enjoying the goodness of Mother Earth and eating only vegetables while maintaining a neutral carbon footprint!
