"That in the first place. McCain, the Kagan brothers, and the rest of the world are perfectly entitled to support the occupation for whatever reasons they wish. Simply because they are entitled to their opinions does not mean they can't be criticised, called out, and deservedly mocked for them."
Right, so long as you are consistent in those criticisms, and not a cheap opportunist like Glenn and his posters, who my original posts on this thread were directed at.
"There are a thousand and one reasons to oppose the continuence of this madness. That some of the loudest supporters of it have no military experience, yet present themselves as strategic masterminds, is just one of them."
It would be not be a good or logical reason though, since you acknowledge military experience has no positive bearing on your assessment of the person's opinion - yet you are willing to count lack of military experience as a negative or at least grant validity to the arguments of those who do. Or are you no willing to grant the validity? In which case why are you are arguing with me?
"Again, do NOT automatically conflate my reasons for wanting this occupation ended with everyone else's."
You picked an argument with me on this thread where I was arguing about the hypocrisy and stupidity of the chickenhawk argument advanced by several posters including Glennwald himself at several points (though not explicitly in this thread).
If you don't have a problem with what I am saying about it - that military experience or no military experience should have no bearing on the assessment of war supporters and that those who pretend that it does are dishonest opportunists - then stop arguing with me.
