AN ARMY OF MURDERERS ROAMS AMERICA

Quick! Hide the children. The New York Times has learned that murderous Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans are on a rampage around the country. Of course the Times's reliably left anti-war reporters, Deborah Sontag and Lizette Alvarez, are full of crocodile tears for these supposed sufferers from PTSD. The fact that the homicide rate among war vets is LOWER than for the general population is not mentioned because it conflicts with their childish narrative. In Timesworld we have no enemies, only friends we've abused unfairly. Furthermore, we don't see the Times devoting its reportorial zeal to seeking out the stories of growth and maturation in response to trauma because that would conflict with their anti-war narrative. To the reporterettes for whom the worst trauma they've ever experienced was getting a B+ in Queer Studies we'd say they could use a little psychotherapeutic help themselves. We suspect they got a lot of pleasure finding "victims" through whom to narrate their lurid fantasies.
