I'm with alcaray on this one.

The "soldiers are dummies" canard doesn't sound any better from the pro-war side than the anti-war side. There are some very intelligent people in our military. That being said, Lee's point that a lot of more upbeat military views don't make the NYT is a valid one.

Two points:

I have seen nothing yet to indicate that this is some kind of fraud, or that these authors aren't who they say they are. I found references to two of them in legitimate military documents and writings. Unless I learn otherwise, I'm leaving it at that.

This isn't the slam-dunk negative article it's being painted as. As far as I can see, it expresses reasonable concerns about the war. I've read more pessimistic things. And more optimistic.
