While I can find nothing that implies, to me, a direct insult to our men in uniform, I think I can see what happened. By insulting those who have an uncomplicated patriotism, it could easily be taken as an insult of those who find their vocation in defending the country.

Nope, the "true patriots" was referring to some RW posters here whose vociferous patriotism was apparently running in inverse relationship to their intelligence. i.e., those who equate patriotism with the automatic denigration of anyone who points out that things might be done better... and continue by branding anyone who criticises their standpoint (of mindless jingoism) as a traitor.

No insult implied, intended or reasonably to be inferred by anyone *truly* serving the US.
