*** Update
I guess I am out of kilter here as my review is a book review of a book I have actually read. I suppose it is fashionable to use the review section to offer commentary about something the writer is admittedly ignorant of. I find that is also true that some anonymous "readers" also like to use this space to review other reviewers from the same position of ignorance.
I'm not sure what about my review led said anonymous "reader" to make assumptions and this reader would probably be surprised to learn that this reviewer happens to have combat experience and is not likely to rejoice is the death or injury of anyone much less one of my grandchildren.
In fact those soldiers are not statists, just brave young people who volunteered to defend this country as I did, and were duped as I was. I cry for every one who doesn't come home. I have to, I have know way too many of them.
In fact this reviewer was pubic educated but at a time before the schools engaged in wholesale brainwashing. These were more innocent times I suppose.
I guess I have little patience with REMF's and chickenhawks willing to send others to die for politics yet not willing to do the same themselves. This assesement includes the current comander in chief ( who hid out in Texas - safely far away from the Ho Chi Minh trail ), the defense secretary and assorted flunkies, the vice commander and just about everyone else in the adminstration.
I stand by my opinion that anyone who thinks this book and Lew Rockwell are in any way anti American and that one who thinks so is either ignorant from the non-exposure to real history versus PC nonsense or has drank the Kool Aid.
Again, this book celebrates the REAL America. It is sad commentary that too few people recognize it.
Anyone who says that this book "rejoices in Amercias defeat" or that it anti-American either has not read the book or is so hopelessly infected with statism that he or she is incapable of any independant thought.
Possibly they are all the poor unfortunate victims of government education so we can't be too hard on them - it's not their fault.
This the most pro-American book I have ever read. It rejoices in America's virtues and what this country is supposed to stand for.
Freedom and liberty were the principles this nation was founded on. This book tells us of the REAL America and the REAL America is just not about more efficiently bombing the wogs halfway around the world. No intelligent patriot one could look at what the Bushies atre doing to Iraq and say that is what America is all about.
This book is about real patriotism not the phony flag-waving and oppression of the Bush Administration or more correctly the Cheney-Rove-Rumsfeld adminstration of which dear old shrub is the point man on strings.
I would recommend this book for anyone. If you read it with an open mind you will be enlightened. Enlightened not brainwashed.
Far from rejoicing ion Americas defeat, this book celebrates America. My America. The one I want back.
