The Weekly Standard's "9/11 Generation"
The ability to cheer on wars while insulating oneself completely from their risks is a unique attribute of the current American generation.
Glenn Greenwald [2007-07-23]

  • Also in Nam

    Without reading all the other comments...beyond McCain, Webb, Kerry et al...I don't know if anyone else noted but Mr. Greenwald forgot to mention Al Gore, who also served in VietNam as a draftee. Yes, it wasn't particulary dangerous service or for a great lenght of time ( I think he was there for six months or so but it was a hell of a lot closer to the battle than the History program at University of Wisconsion, or a Republican Senate race in Alabama.
