The Victimization of the Military

By podcasts@redstate.com (Redstate Network) on War

The left has gone from demonizing the military during the Vietnam War to victimizing our troops today. MoveOn's new VideoVets Project is a sad undertaking and political stunt to demoralize our soldiers in Iraq.

Not only is this another example of the left's short-sighted view of the War on Terror, but it's also an inaccurate portrayal of our troops, all of whom volunteered and proudly serve their country. There will always be dissent in war, but MoveOn has crossed the line.

I asked my Heritage colleague James Carafano, a 25-year Army veteran, what he thought about MoveOn's project. He explained that the left learned the hard way after Vietnam that it couldn't get away with demonizing the military because the military is made up of Americans like you and me. So instead, they're now trying to a new tactic: victimization.

In reality, it's a thinly veiled political campaign. By teaming with VoteVets.org, a group that actively supports Democrats, MoveOn is using our brave soldiers as pawns in its political game. Tell them to stop at videoproject@moveon.org.
