Hippie Liberal Soldier Refuses to go to Iraq
As thousands of Fort Lewis Army troops prepare to head back to Iraq, one of their officers is making a stand.A lieutenant says he is going to refuse to go, saying it's an unjust war. Anti-war groups are rallying to his defense.
I would not be surprised if those same Anti-war groups put him up to this. This is clearly another political stunt. It's funny how the few soldiers out of the entire military that come out and scream "THE WAR IS NOT JUST!" all get published. What about the people in the military who are proud to serve their country? Why cannot the press publish some of their stories? The answer is simple. The media have an anti-war agenda. They are trying to harvest all of the liberals who joined the military as they can to try and advance their agenda.
As for this particular case... SUPRISE! He's in the military... he doesn't have a choice. He is going to Iraq whether he likes it or not. If he wasn't up for defending our freedom, then he should not have joined. He is a disgrace to the rest of our military that is proudly serving our country so that all of us can live in freedom. He is simply a man in a uniform trying to advance a liberal agenda. The rest of our troops go to Iraq prepared to die for our freedom. The amount of respect that I have for them cannot even be expressed in words.
Thank you men and women of our military.

Mm, no. There is a cultural assumption that people who voluntarily serve in the military assent to the political purposes to which the military has been subsumed. So, when individuals within the military stand up and proclaim their dissent - that is news. Anything that challenges the cultural assumption is news. As a journalist, you should know that.
