<p>“Sounds to me like you are making a very dangerous rationalization that Army grads are taking the brunt of this war so other grads can play professional sports.”</p>
<p>I don’t think Screaming Eagle was “rationalizing” anything—just making some pretty obvious observations. I for one was happy to hear the opinion of an actual West Point grad who is in Iraq today about the whole issue. For me it holds a bit more weight than those of us (including myself) with the luxury of opining about how others should feel and act based on whether someone’s definition of “duty” matches our own. I certainly can’t think of anything factually wrong with his comments about the war and the relative sacrifices of the Army to that of the other services.</p>
