The Lives of Others Is a Small Price to Pay for My Grit
Meanwhile, John "Don't Call Me 'Bohner'" Boehner explained, "We need to continue our effort here because, Wolf, long term, the investment that we’re making today will be a small price if we’re able to stop al Qaeda here, if we’re able to stabilize the Middle East, it’s not only going to be a small price for the near future, but think about the future for our kids and their kids."
As Greg Sargent put it, this is characteristic of many occupation-supporting politicians and commentators, who: “(a) Describe the very real sacrifice being made by others as not being such a big deal …while simultaneously… (b) Describing the sacrifice others are making as their own.”
True grit. Or chutzpah, at least.
