I'm not one to get too strident about things like this, and I was willing to give "Joe" the benefit of the doubt.
However, as a freelancer who has embedded twice with US soldiers in Iraq, and as an Army veteran myself, I have to say these are some of the most despicable comments I've seen in awhile.
His blather about World War II obviously overlooks Ernie Pyle, among one of many.
He has the right to his opinion, and even though it's completely Un-American, that's his business. Just as it's my business to say how absurd it is, and to hope he just keeps right on talking.
I am glad that Alex Koppelman wrote this up. It's absolutely vital that the most vile, anti-free press opinions of this bizarre person be publicized as best they can.
By deservedly destroying this person's credibility, it also harms the credibility of this 'Pajamas Media' organization that would actually send him to do 'reporting.' So the more notice he gets, the better.
This man, "Joe," needs to have his own words make him look absolutely as foolish and reprehensible as possible, at every opportunity. And anyone who employs him for their own purposes needs to look equally ridiculous.
