WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?
Radio genius Phil Hendrie, a liberal who declines to align with idiots, addresses the infantilisation of US troops:
To call the great professional men and women who serve in our armed forces “kids” is a semantical tactic employed by my Poseur Leftist friends. They know that by tossing this little hand grenade into the mix any hope one has for a debate on fact, as opposed to hysterical rumor, flies right out the window. Who can not, at a moment like that, bow their head, and ponder ever so deeply, the meaning of children dying in a war.
Ladies and Gentlemen, calling these great people, part of the best trained and best equipped military in the history of the world, “kids” is an obscene insult.
And it’s intended as one.
Enjoy the whole thing.
