The war, in the vernacular.(on the right)(Iraqi War)
NEW YORK, OCTOBER 5
THE flap featuring Rush Limbaugh, Media Matters, and MoveOn.org illustrates the importance not only of keeping facts straight but also of lining up symmetrical perspectives.
For instance: An individual soldier fighting in Iraq can believe that the war is ill begotten, that American military leaders are doing a bad job, and that the world would be better off if the U.S. were to pull out. If that soldier were overheard ventilating these preachments and hauled in to the company commander for questioning, what might one expect to hear?
"Soldier, you've been criticizing the conduct of the war and the thinking behind that conduct. Are you protesting your role in current operations?"
"No. No, sir. Are you, sir, suggesting that I am not entitled to criticize the war?"
"No. I'm not saying exactly that. But I am saying that criticisms of the conduct of a war can encourage disloyalty, and that cannot be tolerated in the military."
"I understand that, sir. Sir, you haven't told anybody around here that I am a 'phony soldier,' have you?"
